Metropolis- Complete at Last- Last Tuesday Paula Félix-Didier traveled on a secret mission to Berlin in order to meet with three film experts and editors from ZEITmagazin. The museum director from Buenos Aires had something special in her luggage: a copy of a long version of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, including scenes believed lost for almost 80 years.

Awesome. The Cinematheque Francaise has a bunch of neat stuff from Metropolis, including one of the robots. Just sayin'.

Amazing, especially given the perishability of old film. I hope the Museo del Cine is going to check it hasn't got other unrecognised stuff.
