The cinematic world was today celebrating the rediscovery of missing scenes from German director Fritz Lang's legendary 1927 silent film Metropolis [ IMDB link ]- thought lost for 80 years, until they were found in the archive of a museum in Argentina.Key scenes cut from the science fiction picture - either because they were considered to be too brutal or too long - will now be available for the first time since May 1927, when the original version was last shown in Berlin, where it flopped badly.
The head of the Berlin film museum Deutsche Kinematik, Dr Rainer Rother, called the find a "sensational discovery", adding that one of the most famous films of all time "can now be seen through new eyes".
