A very detailed and to-the-point documentary by historian and restorer Enno Patalas, whose effort on the reconstruction of Metropolis can truly be called a life’s work. Patalas separates The “Metropolis” Case into three parts: production (Enno Patalas refers to it as “the making)”, re-editing (“unmaking”) and subsequently “remaking”. The documentary features a large number of production drawings, production photos, paintings, and film footage.
