Description

The film is an example of the ‘city symphony’ film genre. It portrays the life of a city, in this case Berlin, mainly through visual impressions in a semi-documentary style, without the narrative content of more mainstream films, though the sequencing of events can imply a kind of loose theme or impression of the city’s daily life.
