Berlin: Symphony Of A Great City - Blu-ray Forum

Hintermann · 09-02-2015, 11:49 AM

Has anyone seen Walter Ruttmann's avant garde classic silent from 1927 Berlin: Symphony Of A Great City? (Sometimes called Berlin: Symphony Of A Great Metropolis). It was restored a few years ago but AFAIK is not available as BD anywhere. The film is simply crying out for Criterion and/or Eureka treatment.

Saw it recently on TCM, an incredibly absorbing film.

Apparently it is, in fact, available on blu-ray:

I haven't viewed this version, though, nor have I seen the film for an eternity. Am considering picking it up. The fact that it comes with a Timothy Brock/Olympia Chamber Orchestra score is a major plus, as they did an exceptionally fine version scoring the international/export edition of Murnau's Faust.
