Wasteland

About This Movie

Wasteland is something else, really. It's like a ghost haunting Berlin, capturing the slow decay of the old Gestapo grounds from '86 to 2013. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive, yet there's a haunting beauty to the ruins. Gressmann doesn't rush you; it’s all about taking your time, absorbing the layers of history. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of stillness that seep into your mind. The practical effects of time's passage are striking, showing the city reclaiming its space. It’s more of a meditation than a traditional documentary, with no flashy interviews or loud commentary. Just images that tell you everything you need to know along with that eerie silence — you feel the weight of history here.

Great for those interested in Berlin's history.A unique observational style that stands out.Perfect for a quiet night of reflection.
