I've been a fan of Metropolis for many years. On occasion I refer to the apartment block I live in as "Rotwang's Lab" as it is a century-old four-storey brick building entirely surrounded by 20, 40, and soon, 60 storey buildings.
I saw this particular restoration at the Pacific Cinémathèque when it was first released, and I agree. This is by far the best restoration to date.
