Inspiration and Other Notes
Visiting the Jewish Cemetery in Prague, My mother in Danzig watching the start of the war, My father witnessing the aftermath of the war, Neo-nazis enter a café on Colditz marketplace, Being seen through still eyes in Meißen, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in Berlin.
I have added a soundtrack to the Walther Ruttmann's 1927 film, BERLIN die Symphonie der Großstadt, using Lou Reed's Berlin album as a framework, along with hits from Germany 1922-1933, punctuated by Nico's chilling rendition of the national anthem, and it is fascinating to see this classic piece of film alongside the 2002 interpretation.
