Rating:  - Great work put to mediocre film
I checked this DVD out of the public library, because I have recently heard "Le Sacre du Printemps" and fell in love with the piece. I have listened to it a dozen times. So, upon locating this DVD, I had to see how it was put to screen. I was mildly shocked, baffled, and disappointed. I watched it 3 times - trying to see if my initial reaction remained. Ok, eventually I grasped the storyline (with the aid of the DVD booklet). To comment on another review here: There was naked dancing; As for ... Read More
Rating:  - excellent
this story is mainly about educating kids. most of the interviewed children are coming from dyfunctional families, living in the under-class-scum areas of berlin, f.e. long-term unemployed parents,drug-problemes, refugees from all over this planet etc. these youngsters have no visons, no goals, no ideas about their future. taking part in dancing with highly motivated people like sir simon rattle changed their lives forever, because it showed them they they have a future and that this future lies in ...

Rating: - An Experimental Film Worth Seeing But Not Owning
Oliver Herrman's film, Le Sacre du Printemps, is what it is subtitled: "A Silent Film to the Music of Igor Stravinsky." It is NOT the ballet. This sureal film is highly creative and innovative. The camera work is superb and the acting consistently good. Its shots are extremely well-cut to the music, and Rattle/the Berlin Philharmonic deliver a first rate performance of the music. The film is about the neurotic lives of three individuals created by a Goddess-Mother in her Cuban-style kitchen; they are among ... Read More
Rating:  - Terrible visuals
Avoid this DVD...the visuals are laughable at best...It is a catalogue of cliches and there is NOTHING musical about the flow of the film...I found it annoying and wish I had never wasted my money....
