Berlin Stories (Stadt als Beute) Germany, 2005 ☆☆

Director Miriam Dehne explores life in the big cities by presenting three different stories about three persons living in the German capital. They are all actors in a new independent play for a local theater. The first story involves a missing kid and a visit to a retro rock bar. The next is an intimate conversation in an almost empty strippers club and the third is about "Ohboy", a quite excentric character who is afraid of showing up at the play rehearsal and instead wanders around the city, playing inside the fountain of the Sony Centre. There is a strong implicit critique of the big cities and how they affect everyone in a negative way. Is this entirely true? This psychodelic trip to Berlin is original in its presentation, but at times repetitive and tiresome. It's up to you to decide.
