TCM - Newly Restored Metropolis 5/5
Just saw a commercial on TCM for a newly restored version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis that will make it's TCM premier on Monday night, May 5th at 8:00 PM EST.
http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com/T...,25819,00.html Metropolis has long been on my to-see list, but sadly I must admit that I have never seen this classic. I am quite geeked up over the fact that I will finally get a chance to see it next week! |
Sweet, I need to see it as well. Thanks for the info.
|
This is one of my favorite movies of all time - a true gem. Images and techniques used in this movie have echoed through subsequent movies for over 70 years now, and this restoration is a treasure!
|
cool beans, I know there has been some criticsim that the restored print of the film seems a tad too sped up - is this really that apparent.
|
bump to remind myself and others interested in seeing this.
|
Thanks for the heads-up. :up:

I got this on DVD a few weeks ago :up: :up: ... KINO did a great job on the restoration!
The first time I saw it in '97 was in color and with the Queen soundtrack. Then I got the $8 Macady version (which was horrible) which I sold on eBay two months ago for $6, and then got the new one. IMHO, one of the best concepts ever made for a film. |

Hour and a half away! |
If you miss it tonight, Metropolis will air again at midnight on 5/18/03 as part of TCM's Silent Sunday Nights.
|
Damn! How long was the movie? The TCM website said 88 min. and I had a tape with 108 min. so I thought I was safe. But it ran out before the flick was over.
Guess I'll get it on 5/18. |
It ran just a little over 2 hours.
Amazing film, I'm ashamed it took me so long to see this. There are so many silent films that I've been missing out on, I really need to start visiting that era more often. I'll be running out to pick up this DVD for sure as soon as I can. |

Originally posted by Giles In regards to "Ben Hur" is the TCM showing the 143 minute version or the restored 151 version as mentioned in the IMDB link? |
