Vienna Calling is a peculiar little documentary that hitches a ride with a grave-robber on his obsessive quest to return the stolen teeth of two famous composers, Strauss and Brahms. Shot on the road in a caravan, it captures this odd journey through the lens of a quirky subculture. The pacing is unhurried, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmosphere of both the character's odd motivations and the landscapes he traverses. There's a certain melancholy mixed with humor, and the practical effects give it an almost surreal quality, as you can't help but ponder what these teeth represent in the grander scheme of art and legacy. It’s a fascinating exploration of obsession and redemption, told in a way that only a documentary like this could conjure.
A unique take on obsession and legacy.Interesting character study through humor and melancholy.Distinctive blend of road-movie and documentary aesthetics.
