Last year we offered up the opportunity to see the gorgeously
restored version of this Fritz Lang masterpiece. This year, it’s
a whole new Metropolis experience!

In 1981, three-time Academy Award-winning composer Giorgio Moroder began a three-year endeavor to restore the science fiction classic, Metropolis. During this process, Moroder made the controversial decision to give the film a new, contemporary score, and added a pop music soundtrack featuring songs from some of the biggest stars of the early MTV era, including Pat Benatar, Billy Squier, Freddie Mercury, Bonnie Tyler and Adam Ant. In addition to the new score, missing footage was re-edited into the film, intertitles were removed and replaced with sub- titles and sound effects and color tinting were added, creating an all new experience! But for more than a quarter century, this version of Metropolis has remained out of print... until now! A new HD transfer was created from one of the few remaining prints available and it is now being presented in the best possible quality, just as it was seen in its original release in August of 1984.
