Stadt auf Stelzen is a fascinating glimpse into Wolfgang Petersen's early career, showcasing his distinct visual style even as a newcomer. The TV movie weaves a surreal narrative that feels both dreamlike and grounded, with an interesting pacing that allows for character development amidst its eccentricity. The practical effects create a unique atmosphere, enhancing the film’s offbeat charm. Performances are quite compelling, particularly given the constraints of the TV format. There's a rawness to the storytelling here that feels different from the more polished works he would later produce. If you appreciate early works of directors and how they evolve, this is a noteworthy piece to consider.
