On a related note, did you hear that they have apparently unearthed an
unabridged print of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"? Apparently it was discovered
in a museum in South America:

Regarding the article you posted, I find the author's choice of dystopian
movies to be somewhat skewed; 2001: A Space Odyssey is dystopian? No
THX-1138? No Zardoz? No Blade Runner? Odd indeed.
