Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

dennispouka I didn't expect this to be such a good movie. Although I found this movie searching for club/rave movies, this is much more than that. At some points one could find similarities with the themes of "One flew over the cuckoo's nest": sanity and psychiatric institutions is defiantly one narrative theme.This film has great music too and I never got bored. I guess I should have rated it with an 8/10; but I was surprised by the quality of it. If you compare it of course with movies of Tarkovsky, Kubrick or Bergman of course it does not stand a chance, but for sure it is better than most mainstream American made movies.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Berlin Calling" is a German 110-minute movie from 7 years ago. Writer and director is Hannes Stöhr and it is probably his most famous work until today. I also saw his more recent "Global Player" and definitely preferred that one. "Berlin Calling" takes us into the world of electronic music focusing on DJ Ickarus, played by the successful artist Paul Kalbrenner. However, I was not impressed. He certainly is not a trained actor and I cannot take this film seriously from that perspective. There were several really intense scene, but they all left me rather uninterested, especially those about the main character's drug abuse, basically from start to finish. The actress who plays his girlfriend was as bad as the one who played the lesbian relationship. No idea what they were thinking with this sub-plot. Probably grasping for straws in terms of including sex to lure people into theatres. It probably would have helped if they had at least been attractive.No idea why this film has such a good reception and why a decent actress like Corinna Harfouch would appear in here. This was not an amateurish-looking effort, but also not a particularly good one. In my case, it probably doesn't help either that I really do not care for electronic music, one of my least favorite genres. Very forgettable film, in which I never felt for the character. Not recommended.

mehmet_kurtkaya The movie is dynamic, full of emotions and wonderful electronic music. It is definitely not a movie about Berlin party scene, Berlin is the backdrop of the movie.Club scene is associated with drugs, but it is not a movie about drugs either. Yes the main character is a drug addict DJ who has mental issues but the movie is not Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, neither One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.The movie explores the life of an artist, his choices, his abysmal loneliness, creativity and above all his relations to other people.Even though there are some occasional character zigzags, the movie wanders in our emotions in a beautiful way.I have seen the movie during If Film Festival in Istanbul and regretted that I had missed the performance of DJ Paul Kalkbrenner ten days ago.

krameria Saw this movie on the 7th of September 2008 in Toronto at the exclusive North American screening of the film. The film was not chosen to be a part of the Toronto International Film Festival; very surprised as to why (extensive use of drugs?).The story line was not incredible complex but the acting was absolutely magnificent. Further if you have been a clubber in a hardcore sense of the word you would be able to relate to the movie in a much stronger way. Up till now my top clubbing movie was "It's All Gone Pete Tong"; this movie is a 100 times stronger in a dramatic sense and much more interesting to follow.The crowed loved the movie and had applauded it and the director at the end of the film.I am very picky when it comes to movies, but this one for me was definitely a hit! I would go as far as stating that this is one of my favorite movies of the year! This movie is reminiscent of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
