摘要：The story of the discovery of an almost complete 16mm print of Metropolisin Buenos Aires is recounted in Sight and SoundSeptember 2008 (Naundorf, 2008: 26-29). The extra footage in that print has now been incorporated into the incomplete version of the film which has been in circu-lation for many years, and the original intertitles have been re-instated. The restored film was premiered in Berlin on 12 February 2010 with the original 1927 score by Gottfried Huppertz. It is now available on DVD in the UK in the 'Masters of Cinema' series from Eureka. Two sequences – summarised in on-screen titles – remain lost, and there are a few jumps in the editing resulting from missing frames. Otherwise the film is complete, although all the additional footage is unsurprisingly of very poor quality
