  Metropolis (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enno Patalas made an exhaustive attempt to restore the movie in 1986.
This restoration was by that time the most accurate, thanks to the script and the musical score that had been discovered.
The basis of Patalas' work was a copy in the Museum of Modern Art's collection.

In fact, Enno Patalas (then of the Munich Film Museum), who restored METROPOLIS first back in 1988, probably got an enormous shot in the arm by the most unlikely source: Pop Music producer Georgio Moroder.
Enno Patalas: In my view the excellent transfer and editing of the original film elements for the "Berlin Film Festival" Edition is very well preserved in the mastering of this DVD presentation.
Patalas is handling the subject and all the complicated angles quite well and at times with a good deal of wit.

 Silent Era : DVD : Metropolis (1927) Review
The audio commentary by Enno Patalas, read by David Cooke, points out the reoccurring motifs of running and closing doors and machines and mothers, the film’s metaphorical and allegorical elements, but is disappointingly without information about the film’s reconstruction considering Patalas’ role in the restoration of the film.
Patalas, in the commentary, introduces us to the musical themes from Gottfried Huppertz’s score, points out the significance of camera movements, the revenge motive of Rotwang (that was muddled in reedited and rewritten versions of Metropolis), and notes the boyishness of Freder’s character, who does so much running in the film.
Patalas interestingly states that Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920) was the first expressionist German film and that Metropolis was the last.

 Hrvatski Filmski Ljetopis::
The first type considered is the »virgin«, linked with Mary Pickford, Lillian and Dorothy Gish, developing towards Shirley Temple and Doris Day, but also progressing in the direction of the unselfish and »pure« heroines of socialist cinema, which perpetuated this type, in their specific manner.
Following is the analysis of the »femme fatale« type, its line of development starting from the seductress from theatre melodramas of the 19th century literature, through Asta Nielsen and Theda Bare, to some of the roles played by Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner and Veronica Lake.
In the analysis of the »independent woman« type, the author again stresses the generic conditioning of different types: while »vamp«, or the »fatal woman«, lives exclusively in melodramas, »independent woman« destabilizes the border between melodrama and sophisticated comedy, and from 1940s becomes a prominent type in thrillers.

 Metropolis: Special Edition 2 Disc Set (1927)
    In the 1980s, film historian Dr Enno Patalas of the Munich Filmmuseum began to try to piece together the original, an impossible task as it has turned out given that some footage, about thirty minutes, is probably irretrievably lost.
Using a combination of the bandmaster's copy of the original score (which indicated scenes to enable the score to be synchronised with the film), censorship records, the shooting script and Thea von Harbou's original novel, Patalas and his team scoured various archives around the world looking for missing pieces and better quality footage.
In fact, the commentary was compiled by Dr Patalas but is delivered by David Cooke, who should have been advised that Lon Chaney's surname does not rhyme with "cranny'.

 DVD Review - Fritz Lang's Metropolis: Restored Authorized Edition
Not only are we given a great deal of information about the film itself, historian Enno Patalas also places the film in the context of its time period and its place in both art and cinema history.
Unfortunately, the audio commentary, also by Patalas, doesn't fare as well.
Patalas' approach to the track is to describe the emotional and psychological impact of what we're seeing on screen, scene by scene, as we watch and listen.

 Cosmik Debris Magazine Presents Everything Else In Review: November 2002
This new restoration by Enno Patalas and the Munich Film Archive is the best version in six or seven decades at least, coming as close to the original experience of the movie as anyone may ever see.
Along with the score Patalas recreated the original intertitle cards (some of which were animated) to tell the whole story of Metropolis.
Hel is referred to in Moroder's version but Patalas had access to all of the original intertitle cards (found in the archives of Huppertz), so he was able to give the whole film much more color and meaning.

(according to film restorer and historian Enno Patalas, the animation in Metropolis was shot at 25 fps and the score by Huppertz was composed for that speed) or even 28 fps (according to restorer Martin Koerber) depending on the source you are asking.
Ironically, it was Koerber who suggested that 20 fps was the correct speed for the film, whereas the Murnau Foundation suggests 22 fps...

 RevolutionaryLeft.com > Eisenstein classic restored to uncensored glory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Restorers have worked for three years to insert scenes removed by German censors for their extreme violence and to correct translations of the Russian "inter-titles" which toned down the mutinous sailors' revolutionary address to the people.
But Patalas said it was also revolutionary artistically, relying heavily on acrobatics and caricature, and often ignoring logic.
Eisenstein used a rush of images to intensify emotions in a style often likened to a newsreel, he juxtaposed shots in order to shock and his techniques have been copied well into cinema's era of sound.
