Seen it?

Overview

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.

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

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten

A textbook classic to which the years have not been kind.
