Add a CommentI've never seen it before, due to hearing there was much missing from the story due to whacks of sub-plots being cut to make the film run under 90 minutes. But now they've found stuff. And it's brilliant. Simply brilliant. The latest version was released last year after a 16mm print made from a complete 35mm release print was discovered in Argentina which contained over 20 minutes of thought to be lost footage. The Kino edition places those in place, as well as inter-titles to replace what we know is still missing (probably about ninety seconds) from the original German cinema version. Sadly, the discovered footage is really awful visual quality (scratchy, a bit fuzzy, contrast is suffering; and this is *after* being restored), but you can at least understand the story far better than before. At least having it there is an improvement on not. Were it not for this film, much of "Blade Runner", Battlestar Galactica", and "Flash Gordon" would never have existed.
Amazing film. I think it would be hard to compare contemporary film special effects to Lang's masterpiece. This is a real treasure to have restored.
