Berlin Calling The Movie
Berlin Calling
From the director of “One Day in Europe” (Berlinale 2005 in Official Competition), Berlin Calling is a feature film that captures the life of a contemporary electronic musician set in the Berlin of today; a modern city in every sense of the word.
The story trails DJ Ickarus (Paul Kalkbrenner), a hard working, creative artist who strains balancing work for a new album, a packed DJ schedule and his personal relationship with girlfriend and Manager Mathilde (Rita Lengyel). Throw in a propensity for excessive drug consumption and the landscape of the film has a dark realism that touches on the destructive nature of the self, especially when isolated or intoxicated. After one particular gig, Ickarus finds himself in the emergency drug ward of a Berlin psychiatric clinic and so the struggle begins.
Art in the Berlin cityscapes, the interpretation of love and relationships and of course in the music; a soundtrack composed by the film’s lead, Paul Kalkbrenner.
