Berlin Calling

While reading this post, you should play this song right under here, and listen to it.



Ok, let's start.
This entire post is dedicated to a movie i saw a couple of days ago. As you can read in the title, the movie is called "Berlin Calling"

This is the story of a Disk jockey, DJ Ikarus (personified by Paul Kalkbrenner) and his relationship with his album, and his life.

The movie start with a live concert of him and all looks great, but all of a sudden his producer won't let the new album come out. From now on the movie take a turn and the main character too. His world is slowly collapsing, he start abusing drugs that much that is enforced to be hospitalized for a treatment that devasteted him.
He break out with his girlfriend of course for his bad attitude and lack of control.
But "not all the worse comes to harm", because in the hospital he start all over again, new life, without drugs and decide to compose a new album, which will be called, Berlin Calling.
A new album, for a new life.

I highly recommend to watch this movie, which has won:

• Locarno Film Festival 2008
• Festival Hamburg 2008
• Berlin Film Festival 2009

Here is the trailer.
