Der Traum vom grossen blauen Wasser is a fascinating glimpse into a significant yet often overlooked piece of Swiss infrastructure. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, as Karl Saurer guides viewers through the history and transformation of the Sihl plain. You can really feel the weight of the past, especially considering the devastating impact of the dam on local communities and landscapes—the juxtaposition of nature's beauty against industrial necessity is striking. The practical effects aren't flashy, but rather serve to immerse you in the stark reality of the changes that took place. It’s a documentary that blends history with an introspective look at progress, leaving you pondering the balance between development and preservation.
