NRCompilation film with 20 excerpts from Thomas Schadt's own films (1982–2000). The film often deals with competition and megalomania, with the awareness of naturally possessing the power to define. But time and again, he also portrays with great empathy the lostness of those who are not among the winners.

1992
6.0The documentary film describes a day in the big city of Berlin and is based on Walter Ruttmann's 1927 black-and-white silent film Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt, which also depicts a day in the big city of Berlin with musical accompaniment. As with Ruttmann, Schadt's film is also based on the tension curve of a symphony, although it is much flatter here. The spirit of optimism and hectic pace of the 1920s, which dominate the rhythm of its predecessor, have largely given way to a certain melancholy. The film reinterprets Ruttman's approach and shows the ruptures and wounds that Berlin suffered both socially and in the cityscape as a result of the war and the years that followed.
