Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927)

A day in the city of Berlin, which experienced an industrial boom in the 1920s, and still provides an insight into the living and working conditions at that time. Germany had just recovered a little from the worst consequences of the First World War, the great economic crisis was still a few years away and Hitler was not yet an issue at the time.

Good, but I think "Man with a Movie Camera" is much superior.

It remains a unique and sometimes inspired exercise in style for its own sake.

many beautiful sequences. one gets closer to the people of the city towards the end.

A really wonderful experience, proving that you really don't need (as so many people seem to think) a classical narrative to be good. Amazing juxtaposition of shots, and some really interesting editing (love the quick cuts at the beginning while we travel into the city). And of course, any film that inspired Man With the Movie Camera (even though Kino-Eye films were TECHNICALLY being made before this film...ex: Mikhail Kaufman's Moscow) gets the full five-stars from me.

A montage of scenes and moments from a day in the life of Berlin, one of several "city symphony" films that were popular at the time. Ruttmann employs a rhythmic editing style reminiscent of the Soviets, particularly Vertov. The film has a great deal of lyricism and poetry to it, and Ruttmann has a fantastic eye. Unfortunately, he doesn't really do a whole lot with the medium. There aren't that many moments where you think "I wonder why he made that decision" or "oh that was a clever transition". It has a very natural flow to it without many surprises. Also, the first three acts (he divides the day into 5 sections) can get a bit repetitive, especially with all the shots of trains. But things pick up towards the end, including a fantastic cabaret scene. All in all, it's a lovely film, but not as thought-provoking as The Man With the Movie Camera.
