The Complete Metropolis / Blu-ray / Production Year: 1927

Studio: Kino Video / Release Date: 11/16/2010 / Length: 147 mins

Metropolis takes place in 2026, when the populace is divided between workers who must live in the dark underground and the rich who enjoy a futuristic city of splendor. The tense balance of these two societies is realized through images that are among the most famous of the 20th century, many of which presage such sci-fi landmarks as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner. Lavish and spectacular, with elaborate sets and modern science fiction style, Metropolis stands today as the crowning achievement of the German silent cinema.
Kino International is proud to announce the DVD and long awaited first time ever Blu-ray release of the new restoration of Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction masterpiece Metropolis, now with 25 minutes of lost footage and the original Gottfried Huppertz score. This new 147-minute version (being released as The Complete Metropolis), opened theatrically in April 2010 earning over $350,000 at the box office, and since it's original restoration, has gone on to earn $1,000,000 in theatrical ticket sales!
When it was first screened in Berlin on January 10, 1927, the sci-fi epic ran an estimated 153 minutes. After its premiere engagement, in an effort to maximize the film's commercial potential, the film's distributors (UFA in Germany, Paramount in the U.S.) drastically shortened Metropolis, which had been a major disappointment at the German box office. By the time it debuted in the United States later that year, the film ran approximately 90 minutes (exact running times are difficult to determine because silent films were not always projected at a standardized speed).
Metropolis went on to become one of the cornerstones of science fiction cinema foreshadowing Blade Runner and The Matrix to name just a few recent examples. Testament to its enduring popularity, the film has undergone restorations in 1984 and again in 1987. The 2001 restoration combined footage from four archives and ran at a triumphant 124 minutes. And at the time was widely believed that this would be the most complete version of Lang's film that contemporary audiences could ever hope to see. But, in the summer of 2008, the curator of the Buenos Aires Museo del Cine discovered a 16mm dupe negative that was considerably longer than any existing print. It included not merely a few additional snippets, but 25 minutes of "lost" footage (about a fifth of the film) that had not been seen since its 1927 debut in Berlin. The discovery of such a significant amount of material called for yet another restoration, carefully executed by Anke Wilkening of the Murnau Stiftung (Foundation) (the German institution that is the caretaker of virtually all pre 1945 German films), Martin Koerber, Film Department Curator of the Deutche Kinemateque and on the music side, by Frank Stoebel. Regarding the quality of the added footage Ms. Wilkening has said: "The work on the restoration teaches us once more that no restoration is ever definitive... Even if we are allowed for the first time to come as close to the first release as ever before, the new version will still remain an approach. The rediscovered sections which change the film's composition, and at the same time always be recognizable through their damages as those parts that had been lost for 80 years."

DVDBeaver.com ya colgó una comparativa entre los Blu-Rays de USA y UK.
Comparison: Eureka (Masters of Cinema # 8 - 2 disc DVD) - Region 2 - PAL vs. Kino International - Region 1 DVD - NTSC vs. Kino - Region FREE - Blu-ray vs. Masters of Cinema - Region 'B' - Blu-ray
Ninguna de las ediciones trae opciones en español.
La de USA trae un documental de 10 minutos con la argentina Paula Felix-Didier.
LA de UK trae un audiocomentario exclusivo y un booklet de 56 páginas.
Ninguna trae los extras de las ediciones en DVDs, son todos nuevos.

So, what are the differences? - well, like the DVD editions, Masters of Cinema have recreated the theatrical 'feeling' using the original German intertitles cards - with English subtitle translation optional. I rate this as a huge difference almost akin to a DUB vs. original language audio. Personally, I am put far deeper into the mood and aware of the historical significance of what I am watching. Also the Masters of Cinema subtitle translation is more complete and accurately worded (see our sample below). My Momitsu confirms that the UK disc is region 'B'-locked.
The other ginormous difference is in the extras. The MoC matches the Kino with the never-before-seen 54-minute documentary on the making and restoration of Metropolis entitled The Voyage to Metropolis (Die Reise nach Metropolis) and the 2010 restoration trailer. What we lose is the 10-minute interview with Paula Felix-Didier, curator of the Museo del Cine, in Buenos Aires. BUT what we gain is fabulous - a full-length audio commentary, recorded in March of 2010, by David Kalat (who, generally, handles production history) and Jonathan Rosenbaum (discussing critical perspectives - also impressions from other journalists). They work very well together and discuss the enduring legacy of Lang's Sci-fi classic, revelations contained in the newly found footage, the power of the images and film language utilized by the iconic director among many other details. It's fabulous - fairly low key - but brimming with relevant information. Possibly this is my favorite commentary of the 2010 year. Lastly, included in the package is a magnificent 56-page booklet featuring archival interviews with Fritz Lang, a 1927 review by Luis Buñuel, articles by Jonathan Rosenbaum and Karen Naundorf, and restoration notes by Martin Koerber. Masters of Cinema handily wins in the supplements department.

A veces me olvido que España edita muy bien realmente.
Que vergüenza que habiéndose encontrado el material extra en la Argentina, aquí no exista ni la intención de editarla en Blu-Ray.
Necesitamos más gente como el Sr. José Martinez Suarez (presidente del Festiva de Mar Del Plata) en nuestro mercado del Cine (tanto hogareño como comercial) y menos como los CEO de las editoras locales o los que deciden que películas llegan o no a nuestras salas de cine.
¿ Scott Pilgrim no viene a nuestros cines ? ... ¿ No hay Blu-Ray Argentino de ninguna película nuestra ? ... una enorme vergüenza. Un mercado que solo apunta a ganar plata y quejarse cuando le va mal.
Pero sigamos con los datos de la Edición Española...

Metrópolis se estrenó en Berlín el 10 de enero de 1927 y después de 83 años, el 12 de enero de 2010 volvió a ser ‘estrenada’ con todos los honores en la que se considera la que es su versión definitiva. Tras los cortes y remontajes sufridos por Metrópolis después del estreno, la obra maestra de Fritz Lang fue sometida a tres sustanciales restauraciones, la penúltima de las cuales, finalizada en 2001 tras un arduo proceso de investigación por todas las filmotecas del mundo, supuso para Metrópolis ser escogida como la primera película considerada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco.
De Metrópolis no se conocía ninguna copia íntegra y original. Se conservaba, eso sí, una copia de la partitura original de Gottfried Huppertz para recordar que faltaba algo más de media hora de metraje. Pero en 2008 se materializó un sueño que parecía imposible: En Buenos Aires se localizó una copia en 16 mm del original que, a pesar de su deterioro, conservaba 26 minutos ‘inéditos’ y el montaje de escenas original del estreno. Casi dos años después de ese hallazgo y tras efectuar un minucioso y costoso trabajo de restauración —que incluye la regrabación de la partitura original de Huppertz, interpretada por la Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester de Berlín a las órdenes de Frank Strobel— la ‘nueva’ Metrópolis vuelve a presentarse en toda su visionaria y extraordinaria grandeza que puede disfrutarse, por fin, en Blu-ray.
