Description

For years, the original version of Metropolis went unnoticed somewhere in Buenos Aires. How did this happen? Without simply offering a historical reconstruction, Fernando Martín Peña explores the various versions and the reasons why one of cinema's great classics was lost, before embarking on a search for the original footage.

“When a film detective like Fernando Martín Peña makes a crucial discovery like the lost scenes of Metropolis, his achievement becomes an event of tremendous importance in our world. Without Peña’s tenacity, Metropolis would have remained incomplete in history. We owe him an immense debt.” — Kevin Brownlow

Taking us through it from beginning to end, Peña tells us a unique story as only he can tell it. This edition is completed by critical texts from H.G. Wells, Luis Buñuel, and Ulyses Petit de Murat.
