| Description EN | A visual portrait of modern Berlin without words – inspired by Walter Ruttmann’s classic „Berlin – Die Sinfonie der Großstadt“ (1927). Director Malte Wirtz follows a day in the life of the metropolis and completely dispenses with dialog, relying solely on the power of his images, accompanied by through-composed music. In predominantly black-and-white cinematography, a rhythmic kaleidoscope of urban life unfolds between rapid editing sequences and contemplative moments of calm. Where Ruttmann showed steaming locomotives, Wirtz presents the digital present: e-scooters, smartphones, bicycle couriers and digital billboards. The film documents the social contrasts unfiltered – from luxury high-rises to caravan estates, from start-ups to traditional corner pubs, from demonstrations to after-work traffic. „Berlin Rhapsody“ pays homage to German avant-garde cinema and offers an authentic document of urban existence in the 21st century, capturing the paradoxes of metropolitan life between tradition and innovation, hustle and bustle and stillness. |
