Berlin: Symphony of a Great City

At once an invaluable photographic record of life in Weimar Berlin and a timeless demostration of the cinema´s ability to enthrall on a purely visceral level, Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (1927, 62 min.) offers a kaleidoscopic view of a single day in the life of the bustling metropolis. Also included on this DVD is Opus 1 (1922, 10 min.), a rare example of the German avant-garde cinema. Director Walther Ruttmann´s hand-colored film is an exploration of the geometry of movement.
