B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin 1979-1989 Blu-Ray

Dokumentti 2015. Kielet englanti ja Saksa. Berliinin Babylon ennen muurin murtumista, dekadentti skene musiikissa, elokuvassa, taiteissa…

Music, art and chaos in the wild West-Berlin of the 1980s. The walled-in city became the creative melting pot for sub- and pop-culture. Before the iron curtain fell, everything and anything seemed possible. B-MOVIE is a fast-paced collage of mostly unreleased film and TV footage from a frenzied but creative decade, starting with punk and ending with the Love Parade, in a city where the days are short and the nights are endless. Where it was not about long-term success, but about living for the moment - the here and now.

” The angst in the raw footage is palpable, a divided city on the verge, about to hit critical mass: Subterranean clubs, street life and an edgy music scene marked by jittery unease. With the Wall as a constant, the pent-up energy of Berlin comes to life in these rare 8mm films. Structured a bit like a Julien Temple project w/ a unique flashback concept, yet authentic, even nostalgic.”
