German Song is one of those intriguing little pieces that captures a specific mood. Shot in black and white Super-8, it immerses you in the drabness of a youth's aimless wanderings through dull afternoons. The visuals are grainy yet poignant, amplifying the sense of detachment in the protagonist's journey. The music by Come adds this gritty edge, contrasting beautifully with the stillness of the images. It's not flashy, but there's something haunting in its simplicity—a reflection on disconnection that lingers long after it’s over. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the atmosphere to settle around you, making it a unique viewing experience.
German Song is a rare find in collector circles, mainly due to its limited release and the obscurity of its director. The film has circulated mainly in underground film festivals, which adds to its allure among collectors who appreciate its avant-garde approach. Various formats exist, though the Super-8 version remains the most sought after for its authenticity and aesthetic qualities. Its scarcity has sparked interest, making it a talking piece for those who admire experimental cinema or the unique blend of sound and image.
