Now imagine this...

Download this movie - documentary. Free download in its own site. A guy in the IMDb forums of the film has it. The film is silent and b&w. Now imagine listening to Rubycon (1975), an album by Tangerine Dream and at the same time watching this piece of experimental art. You can't imagine? I can. You can lose all your stress by doing that. Of course I experimented doing it at a weekend morning; but now you can try and watch it at a sunset in middle of the week... at a Friday for example. Shake the school or the work stress away. Listening ambient music and watching art. Watching Berlin in its great years. Before the Great Depression. Before the World War II. Before Hitler. A magnificent and rich Berlin.

It's not a film to watch. It has nothing to watch. It's a film which you should 'look closer...' as in American Beauty. Because sometimes things aren't just what they seem. They're better.
