Das Lied vom Leben

Here is one for the avant garde crowd. A expressive German film from the transition period which blends the visual trends from the silent days with the modern media of sound. Uses techniques familiar with the Soviet montage movies which has a strong cult following still today with swift editing and creative blend of images. The problem however is that the story gets lost in the artistry. Too bad it wasn't a success because a lot of this creative thinking was lost once sound entered the pictures.
