Tra-la, actually got a tune up before midnight for a change.
We saw the restored version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis on Friday at our favorite little arts cinema. It was mighty cool. The plot even (*gasp*) made sense! Apparently they've put back in a bunch of missing film and filled in the remaining gaps with new intertitles. Some of the imagery is incredible.
We saw it with a strange, one-time-only live performance of a 'new soundtrack' by a group called Spacecraft. It was interesting; they managed to make their score synch up pretty well. Not quite Dark Side of the Moon/Oz-level synch, mind you, but then what is? I wonder what the orchestral score for this release is like.
