Lust & Sound in West Berlin (B-Movie)
A decade of West Berlin subculture in original footage, breathtakingly edited – telling a story of the city during the last decade before the end of the Cold War.
B-MOVIE: LUST & SOUND IN WEST-BERLIN (1979 – 1989) is not so much a documentary as it is a refined account compiled from documentary material, agreeably put together by Jörg A. Hoppe, Klaus Maeck and Heiko Lange and made into a new whole. A high-grade, subjective declaration of love and, at the same time, a surprisingly cartographic feat that is rich in material.
“In a breathless collage of private and third-party footage from those years, (…) the Berlin Brit Mark Reeder revives the happenings of the city still divided by the Wall, competently supervised by directors Jörg A. Hoppe, Klaus Maeck and Heiko Lange. (…) B-MOVIE is a hell of a funfair ride for all those who lived somewhere else during this decade or hadn’t even been born, along with for those who were there and can rediscover familiar haunts on screen.” (Zitty)
Director: Jörg A. Hoppe, Heiko Lange, Klaus Maeck, Miriam Dehne, b/w and colour, 92 min., 2014/1
