Review of Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927) by Matt M — 12 Jan 2013
The city symphony feature film masterpiece that anticipated Dziga Vertov's The Man With the Movie Camera, although the two movies are quite different, because Ruttmann's work is more centred on the images he takes themselves than on the filmmaking process and the analogic editing.
In this film we truly get a genuine feel of the movement of a whole city, the passing of time and the advancement in the industrial and social lifestyle of the people. With the wonderful original soundtrack finally restored, the film is just a magnificent experience.
