Notes on Berlin

SynopsisIn dem wie ein Tagebuch anmutenden Film NOTES ON BERLIN beugen sich vor allem die Klänge dem Joch der Geschichte: die Musikauswahl rangiert von Bach über Kurt Weill zu elektronischer Popmusik, während die unterschiedlichen Stimmen von RadiokommentatorInnen auch unterschiedliche Realitäten zu beiden Seiten des Eisernen Vorhangs heraufbeschwören. Wie Bilder in einem Farbtrennungsverfahrensfilm sind die Stimmen geschichtete Texte, ihre Qualitäten transportieren sich über Generationen hinweg, sie werden von der Zeit geformt, wie Steine vom Wasser geschliffen werden. (Jake Wilson)
