This is a one-hour film-expedition into the nightlife around the so-called Hackesche Höfe (Hacke's Courtyards) in Berlin.
This is a somewhat bewichting film with a very dream-like, enchanting atmosphere - at leasts in my perception. The young Japanese lady filming it (you can see her reflection in some windows she films into) just walks around, through the courtyards, and the surroundign streets and sourrounding courtyars of other blocks, without talking, and so the viewer dives into every new scene she opens, and it is somewhat surreal like you move from scene to scene like in a dream, or a stageplay with ever changing stages, or like you promendade from painting to painting when strolling around a museum, and it goes into the light and the colours, and then back into the darkness and silence, and then the next scene opens up and there is light and colours and people again, and then you leave again, and in and out and in and out. The mood of this film has really taken me away. You see some ugly places, too, but be patient, it never stays there, the next colour- and light-enshedded scene soon will open up, and sometimes ts lonely neolights, and sometime sit warm glow. A very dreamlike atmosphere, I liked it tremendously. Its a different , less noisy and less proletarian night life like in other places in Berlin that I actually do know - this one as depicted in the film I did not know about, I have never been in that city sector.
Having seen the same place in films through the daylight, I must say at night its a completely different world.
I admit this is only of ointerest if you have a generla interest for thois lind of tourist movies. I watch such stuff a lot, and not just Berlin. I think I must have been in over two dozen froeign cities this way by now, often hzavign done 1-2 hours tozruist bus tours in full 360° VR. Its fantastic. I am deeply thankful for the options VR offers - and the many people shooting in dedicate d 360° or high quality 4K and 8K like here. Some may say "But its not real!" - but I tell ypou with 5 years of experience now, its so much better to travel virtually these ways than to missi it alltogether! Who gains more - the one going with the option of getting 50% of 100, or the one who insists on pure 100% of nothing, becasue he never got even virtually started? And lets face it: tavelling for real is not just fun and excitement, its also STRESS and exhauistion.
The film is not 360° and its not VR, though I recommend to watch it in VR on the big screen in a moviehall surrounding.
She has shot incredibly many videos.
