Pretty odd,...but it was nice seeing Vienna again.

This short film was recently posted on IMDb and is now available for viewing in the United States. Like most of the shorts, it's by a new film maker and rather experimental in nature.

The film begins with lots of film clips of a European city. Then the narrator talks about how we need to stop trying to understand what we see and not try to make sense of what we don't understand. However, by then I wasn't paying much attention, as I saw some familiar Viennese sites (such as St. Stephen's cathedral) and was translating the German in my head. So much for not trying to understand or make sense of what I was seeing.

The style of the film and the message are interesting and the film is a nice little experiment. It just doesn't work too well if you've been to Vienna and know a bit of German--this defeated the whole concept of the film.
