Berlin Junction (2013) User Reviews

Great improvised short film

[radau-85803 · 8/10 · 19 February 2020]

Berlin Junction is a nice short film about an unsuccessful painter who suddenly needs to take a decision which he rather would not like to take. It's fast, slow, pretty, ugly, dirty, sweet and everything that stands for living in Berlin which it portraits very well. I also loved seeing the local punk band WILSON! which played the title track in the trailer and appears in one scene in the movie. They make a fitting soundtrack for this movie!

Will give you a hangover

Its an improvisation on a very weak script. Almost every single character is weak. Would be A wonderful film student project movie but I dont think it is a film student project. Watching some guy randomly drifting around berlin drunk and high was really not attractive for me.

Berlin independent cinema at its best

When I watched 'Berlin Junction' the first time I was highly impressed how the plot and story enfolds. I have been following the film from preproduction onwards, and I think Xavier Agudo managed brilliantly to bring this story with his actors to life. For the ones who are not familiar with the story behind this film: Xavier Agudo hosted a workshop for his actors, selected his main cast and created the story with them. Every scene is improvised, the director just gave them minimal directions where they are coming from and where they want to go. Besides it's uniqueness of production the film portrays nowadays Berlin very realistically. The performance of the actors is flawless. Overall - if you do like independent cinema and you are a fan of Berlin, you have to watch this film.
