Berlin Babylon

About This Movie

Berlin Babylon showcases the gritty, palpable tension of a city in transformation. Siegert's lens captures the raw essence of Berlin’s architectural renaissance post-reunification. The documentary is almost meditative in its pacing, allowing the viewer to soak in the juxtaposition of modernity against the remnants of the past. There’s a real sense of the struggle—both in the physical rebuilding and the emotional landscape of the city. The interviews with architects and locals provide a layered texture, revealing the complexities of identity and memory intertwined with concrete and steel. It’s not your typical documentary; it feels like a journey through time, with the city itself serving as both character and backdrop, reflecting hope and uncertainty in equal measure.

Thought-provoking exploration of urban change · Rich in historical context · Captures the spirit of post-Wall Berlin
