Not a great piece of non fiction film, talking head interviews spaced by scratchy shots from the DVD off the sixteen millimeter dupe neg, but particularly interesting for film freaks.
The Argies were ignored, when they wrote Germany to say they had the film complete with missing material. However someone gets to see their DVD and there is dropping of jaws. Enno Patalas, was gratified that he had just about put his reconstruction back the way it was meant to go. One of the One of the Argentinians adds that it was all right to extend the German version (which is much better quality) but Argentinian one was a work in itself, made from a second negative, having different paced versions of the same scenes and shots with different details,
The most winning subject is the girl who grins into the camera at the end and says "I found Metropolis. I found Metropolis!"
