Berlin

About This Movie

So, there's this film called 'Berlin' – it’s a fascinating piece, really. It's not your typical doc or narrative, but more of an impressionistic essay that captures the city's essence as it was transforming after the Wall came down. The blend of Mick Cullen's animated paintings with live action creates this dreamlike quality, while the music by Raymond Deane, paired with Jane Gogan's sound design, really pulls you into the atmosphere. It feels like you’re wandering through a poetic version of Berlin, with all its complexities. The pacing feels reflective, almost meditative, making you think about the historical weight and emotional depth of that time. Quite unique in how it conveys the spirit of a city on the brink of change.

'Berlin' is somewhat of an obscure find; it doesn't pop up often in discussions among collectors. The experimental nature might not appeal to everyone, but those who appreciate avant-garde cinema definitely see its value. There’s limited information on its format history, which adds to the intrigue, making any release a potential gem for the right collection. Just keep an eye out for it, as it’s not exactly easy to come by.
