Flight through the Night is a fascinating dive into the 1980s Berlin landscape, where language and images intertwine in ways that are both cerebral and poetic. Baltrusch’s treatment of the city at night captures a unique atmosphere—it's almost like a character itself, breathing alongside Gretel and Martin. The pacing feels deliberate, giving you time to absorb the haunting visuals and the conversations that drift through the night air. The film’s practical effects are subtle yet impactful, enhancing the dreamy quality that permeates each scene. It’s not just a documentary, it’s an exploration of connection—between people, and between words and visuals. There's a rawness to it that makes it stand apart from more polished works of the period.
