Passages
Lisl Ponger creates an imaginary map of the twentieth century on which the stories of emigration are engraved like well-worn tracks of occidental memory. The pictures, made by observant tourists, are revealed, in their tensile relationship to the soundtrack, as a post-colonial journey. A journey through exactly those countries which long ago have been shrunk together in space and time. Finally the wonderful neon signs of the “Hotel Edison” and “Radio City” remind one of the origins of this form of appropriation of the world, of the time of great expeditions, of Benjamin‘s shop-windows and passages, and of the time when technical apparatus and means of transportation fundamentally altered the perceptions of modern man.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
