2/10
Too restless for my taste

This is "München-Berlin Wanderung" or "Walking from Munich to Berlin", a 4-minute short film from 1927, which means it will have its 90th anniversary next year and this German production was already made years before the Nazis came into power, which puts it nicely in a perspective of time. The director is Oskar Fischinger and he was still in his 20s here. He made this one briefly before starting his "Study" film series. I personally cannot say I enjoyed the watch at all. It's all very random and the title is not really relevant in the film. The shots are extremely fast, which means that none of them made a lasting impression. You see children, grown-ups, animals, landscapes and lots of houses, so nothing really informative or creative here either. I really wonder why anybody would give this one more than 4 stars really. Filmmaking may not have been great in the 1920s yet, but there are many examples that are way superior compared to this boring black-and-white silent short film. Highly not recommended.
