So I watched Metropolis many years ago and being a keen DVD buyer have the urge to purchase it for a repeated watch. I already own various Hitchcock silent movies along with Nosferatu, Phantom of the Opera and Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari. I have to be in the right frame of mind for the silent era but once in a while I don’t mind sitting through one.
Obviously there is no disputing the greatness for its time and the influence it’s had on other movies but the question I would like to ask is, do you feel that Metropolis is a film worth revisiting? Also given the fact with new restored footage it clocks up at around 2 hours 30 mins. I would appreciate your thoughts.
