Faithful... This orchestral film is a classic of Weimar cinema. A lyrical portrait of a bustling metropolis in late Spring begins with daybreak. Slowly the city awakens with signs of activity. Faithful commuters, morning delivery trucks and cross-town buses start to make their way through this urban center. Eventually, the city's a pulsating organism teeming with activity and moving to the rhythm of its own daily schedule. But as the day comes to an end, the city shuts down and goes to bed so that it may meet tomorrow morning anew. [More]

Reviews for Berlin, Symphony of a Great City
More of a montage of images than an actual movie, this is a deeply fascinating documentary.
It remains a unique and sometimes inspired exercise in style for its own sake.
