Absolutely fascinating. I never knew such an indepth look at Berlin the 1920s existed. I just got into this as if I was there. Mesmerising. Thanks for the upload.
Klasse. Habe den Film vor 2 Jahren in Berlin gesehen mit live Violinistin, Pianisten und Percussion. Jetzt habe ich die CD TIME OUT vom Dave Brubeck Quartett laufen lassen. Ich finde die passt auch ganz gut.
I gotta say, I am 23, I recently moved to live in Berlin for a specific amount of time and I am already deeply in love with the city as it is now. I know little of what the city looked like before the war, photos and videos can tell you only so much. Although I regret that Berlin has lost its traditional charm, the one cities like London and Paris can proudly flaunt to the world; I'm happy that Berlin is unique in being modern and ever-evolving. It is a symbol for transition through time.
there is an excellent soundtrack to the movie, hence the 'symphony' in the title. i'm not sure why there is no music here, but you should definitely watch it with the orchestrals it was meant to be seen with!
ein sensationeller film. gut, dass es solche zeitdokumente gibt! ...und wenn man bedenkt, dass berlin damals - noch vor paris oder bspw. new york - quasi DIE kulturmetropole der welt war.... ich kann mich dem kommentar von soutache nur anschließen.
If anyone wants a REALLY trippy experience, play the overture to the Threepenny Opera as you watch this. The version I was listening to ended just as the train pulled into Berlin. What an AMAZING video...is this on DVD? All the video stores I tried threw out all the VHS versions...
This works quite well with the theme from "North by Northwest", especially since the titles sequence from that movie is based off of the introduction to this one.
What a great movie. For information there is in Paris the "CinéRail festival" that shows how much trains take part in our real or imaginary lives... My movie "Where are you going" will be screened for this 17th Official Selection.
No sound? strange. In any case, I got to see this tonight with a live score by Text of Light. Incredible. At one point it became almost hypnotic, though that might not be the right word to use... interesting nonetheless.
can anyone tell me were i could get in the internet the entire movie, as well as the other ones of the others cities? i heard there were more, not sure if they were from the same director. tks
I seem to remember there was a special musical score that was composed especially for this film that was included in the original release. Is this true?
sigft, it wasn't the allies fault Hitler invaded Poland. You can blame Churchill and Roosevelt all you want, but the blame rests with Hitler. Dresden was a criminal act, but the bombing of Berlin was necessary, and how was the last 60 years humiliating, I loved the Trabant. :D

Thank you very much for this upload!!!
I saw this today with a live symphony orchestra playing and it was incredible. This really needs the music to get the full benefit of it.

It is true. There was indeed written a soundtrack specially for this movie.
Widor's organ music is what I prefer to watch this, it's like an entertainment a vampire would contrive
we can say new york city, london, paris and berlin, and shanghai are the key cities at that time

Any suggestions for a background music...??
There was original music by Edmund Meisel. A new made by Timothy Brock, that is so realy good. Overall the movie is very good.
still the greatest city on earth in my opinion.

Danke auch von mir!!!
Die Gegenüberstellung arm - reich, Arbeiter - Müßiggänger, Innenstadtquartiere - Außenbezirke hat mir gefallen.....
or any philip glass, especially the solo piano album.
Cinematic depictions of modernity and its attendant problems and/or possibilities?
Desgraciadamente así fue, la criminal destrucción aliada, pero recordemos que "Quien siembre vientos recoje tempestades".
There is a world of difference between being a Nazi and being German. Humiliation is something that is never imposed but always self inflicted.
new york city, london, paris, berlin, shanghai
Hi. I think coul be nice for this first part somethin by kraftwerk; "Trans Europe Express", "Mitternach", "Hall of Mirrors" "Morgenspaziergang"....
