Movie Reviews of Rammstein - Lichtspielhaus
Movie Review: Essential Rammstein
Summary: 5 Stars
Lichtspeilhaus is the quintesential video archive of Rammstein prior to their Reise, Reise and Rosenrot albums. It kicks major butt! Among my favorites are the Tarantino-esque DU HAST video which reminds me of Pulp Fiction, with an awesome shot of a guy on fire walking around in slow motion. It's so beautiful you can't look away, even in the making of featurette of German gangster-style video, no one told the stuntman when to stop because of how entrancing it was. The guy eventually dumped himself in the kiddie pool after his suit got uncomfortably hot when the director failed to say cut.
Among the many creative videos, Seeman is the most powerful and moving as both the video and in the live footage. The song is so beautiful you can see some people crying in the live footage as they sing along.
Another more interesting video was SONNE in which Rammstein is the Seven Dwarfs digging up gold to be sniffed up like cocaine for Snow White. Then there's that epic shot of Richard Z. Kruspe with that Gigantic guitar.
My all time favorite is DU RIESCHT SO GUT '98, is which the band becomes werewolfs hunting down this rather beautiful gal in a red dress. Then Till Lindemann turns into a wolf creature comprised of all six wolves as one. Then the funniest moment is where Richard walks into the ballroom wearing a dress.
In all, this is an absolute must-have for any Rammstein fan! But I still like ICH WILL, where Flake (pronounced Flak-uh, the band's master keyboardist) is sitting in the bank with a huge bomb vest.
Movie Review: Lichtspielhaus Kicks Arsch
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is put together well. The menu animation is top-notch. On it you will find the complete catalog of music videos released up to and including Mutter: Du riechst so gut, Seemann, Rammstein, Engel, Du hast, Du riechst so gut 98, Stripped, Sonne, Links 2 3 4, Ich Will, Mutter, and Feuer frei! - in that order; neither censored or edited and in their original aspect ratios. The only technical drawback is in the first two music videos where a few lines of distortion appear at the top and bottom of the screen, but are still watchable nonetheless. Du hast, Du riechst so gut 98, Sonne, Links 2 3 4, and Ich Will also have their own, very interesting Making Ofs with interviews contained in them as well. You can access what subtitles you want for the Making Ofs in either German, English, French, Spanish, or Japanese.
Live material includes: 1996 "100 Jahre Rammstein" Berlin Arena (Herzeleid, Seemann), 1997 Philipshalle Düsseldorf (Spiel mit mir), 1998 "Rock am Ring" Festival (Heirate mich, Du hast), 1998 "Live aus Berlin" Wuhlheide (re-edited version of Sehnsucht), 2001 "Big Day Out" Festival Sydney (Weißes Fleisch, Asche zu Asche), and 2001 Velodrom Berlin (Ich Will, Links 2 3 4). These are all professionally done. The sound is 2 channel, PCM stereo instead of 5.1 surround for all of them, but the quality stands on its own. Then you have the "Achtung Blitzkrieg!" TV Trailer which just goes to show the height of Rammstein's international success.
Total time: 210 minutes.
Movie Review: ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IT'S WORTH $10.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would buy this if it was $30. For $10 you are getting a whole lotta Rammstein and it's all great stuff. There videos are the best I have seen and the making of's are interesting. The live parts are awesome and they all sound great. The best videos which are great to watch over and over again are Mutter, Ich Will, Sonne, Du Hast, and Du Riechst So Gut.

Movie Review: Got to feel the fire!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rammstein's "Lichtspeilhaus" is one of the best music DVD's I've come across. I was surprised to see that not only does this DVD have them playing live, but it also includes all of their PVs- and the "making of's" for five of the videos. I have to say that the content of the DVD is incredible and the interviews are interesting, There's quite a lot with the band (Yay!) and what the directors say are interesting enough. Entertaining bit in the making of "Du Hast" where Till tells about their experiences with fire... most amusing (and painful sounding). The concerts are on fire- literally; I've never seen such large explosions on stage, it's thrilling, and includes such lovely moments as in the live version of "Heirate Mich" where Till walks around on his knees pawing at the guitarists and pleading "Heirate Mich?" (Marry Me). Of course I have to mention that the DVD menu is a bit long (and difficult!), but I suppose it only helps to build up one's anticipation. Also it freezes up sometimes and gives you codes to move faster (they sort of work). Anyway, it's a good buy- well worth it- especially for fans (it's only $11!). I wouldn't recommend this video for the sheltered though (or those who are younger because of the explicit content), only those who really like gothic music and can stand the disturbing images (and pyrotechnics) contained in the DVD. Ho Ho, Let's Go!Movie Review: Essential viewing for all Rammstein fans
Summary: 5 Stars
Rammstein has set the standard by which all future music DVDs will be measured. You get all their videos, some interesting interviews, and even a selection of live concert footage from shows other than their massive "Live Aus Berlin" project.
The sound and video quality are uniformly excellent. The production overall is terrific. My one issue is the somewhat annoying menu system. It's pretty cool the first few times you look at the DVD, but later when you just want to get to a specific video, you have to wait around for lengthy animations and such. It just takes a while to navigate. This is, however, a small complaint.
The sound and video quality of the live material is not quite as good. It looks more like a document of the show rather than an intentional DVD shooting. The camera is a bit shaky at times and the audio is not amazing. This doesn't really affect things all that much though - the power of their live performances comes through crystal clear.
Every Rammstein fan needs to buy this DVD immediately. If you're new to Rammstein, this is a great place to start. They have a lot of great videos and the concert footage will give you an excellent idea of what their live shows are live. You'll find many hours of tranzmetal enjoyment here. Lets hope they eventually release a "Lichtspielhaus 2" with their latest videos!
