B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin 1979-1989 (2015)

B-MOVIE: LUST & SOUND IN WEST BERLIN is a documentary about music, art and chaos in the Wild West Berlin of the 1980s.
The walled-in city which became the creative melting pot for a special kind of sub and pop culture, attracting ingenious dilettantes and world famous celebrities alike. However, before the iron curtain would fall, artists and communards, squatters and hedonists of all kinds would enjoy Berlins unconventional lifestyle. It was not about long-term commercial success, but about living for the moment - the kick - the here and now.
With mostly unreleased TV and film footage, photos and original interviews, B-MOVIE tells the story of life in the divided city, a cultural interzone in which everything and anything seemed possible in a place unlike anywhere else in Europe. It's a fast-paced collage of stories from a frenzied but creative decade, starting with punk and ending with the Love Parade, all from a city where the days are short and the nights are endless. This is a time when Berlin was like a B-MOVIE: Colourfully cheap and trashy, threatened and thrown together, anxious and ambitious, clubbed and caned, stoned and strung out, drunk, drugged and - just very special.

For those who weren't there - you'll get the VIBE!

I was not prepared for all these original images from the 80s. Watched it two weeks ago and cant even explain how strange it feels. I live here, in Berlin, 40 years later and it is another lofe, another city, another mindset. Everything is different now... The documentary was strong! Strong images, well done narrative and well chosen images (also from other movies). I was never a real fan of the 80s and never will be but the feeling, the vibe, the power, the emotion behind the time... this film transfered the Zeitgeist to all those who weren't there, including me. And hell yes, I felt like I was there. So - hell of a ride! Be prepared and rock on!

Watch it all from the safety of your seat

Went to see B Movie: 'Lust And Sound In West Berlin', last night, its a must to get the DVD from German amazon out in October, because if you weren't having the late night indecency, you can now enjoy it in the safety of your seat. A magnificent marrying of style and content, and if you thought you were going to get lost in an unspecified anonymous collage of images; there's a clever use of main protagonist Mark Reeder, who as well as using voice over keeps you watching and draws you in with his own super 8 footage from this time - which includes when Nick Cave moved in with him.

Mark Reeder is founder and owner of the German electronic dance music label "MFS" and "Flesh".

Great archive material

If you were young in the 80s and a fan of the tube, this is where that West Berlin special came from. At the time I was completely bemused by the post punk drug induced cacophony showcased in that and on John Peels sessions and preferred the Human League. Now my ears have matured, I find I actually love the raw sound produced by Einsturdenze Neubauten and that sound, and this movie, takes me back to a period of my life I'd largely forgotten. It's amazing that EN sounds so fresh today. So, while I'll no doubt watch this again, younger people or those not very interested in music, will probably find this rather slow.
