Original 1927 cut of Metropolis found!
E. Spaceman:
To use an actual example, Apocalypse Now Redux, which restored 50 minutes of footage was inredibly tiresome and added nothing, instead degtracting from the whole experience.
Ikrik:
Yeah.....but comparing Metropolis to Apocalypse Now is a little....weird. I didn't enjoy Apocalypse anyway, I have no idea which version I saw. It was just...meh. Mind you I saw it a couple months ago so I totally missed out.
est:
This is exciting, yes. The 210 mins could also be re-cut to a more manageable length to include some of the lost footage.
E. Spaceman:
I wouldn't say it is too rare an occurrence, honestly. Many Director's Cut or whatever are often bloated and detracting from the film. The Dune film was horrible when released, but Lynch's cut is outstanding in its shittiness.
