Movie Reviews of Visions of Germany
Movie Review: Visions of Germany and Visions of France
Summary: 1 Stars
Both items were ordered on May 29. The note from Amazon said they will be delivered by June 22. As of June 23, neither orders were delivered. I contacted the vendors, Super Mart and Deeveedees and they said they would reship. As of June 29, I have not seen either.
It would be better if the purchaser is informed of the tracking number at the time of shipment.
I rated one star, as I can not really rate without seeing them.
Summary of Visions of Germany
Two of Germany's most scenic and historic regions unfold from a bird's eye viewExperience the fairy tale beauty, natural wonders, and rich history of southern Germany. Shot in high definition from a helicopter-mounted camera, each tour is accompanied by a poetic narrative and evocative soundtrack of regional music, including works by native sons Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner, and Johann Strauss.
Visions of Germany: Bavaria-Take a journey filled with royal intrigue, Alpine majesty, and charming villages where the past merges with the present. See the Mediterranean flair of the Bodensee, the "German Riviera"; the old walled city of Rothenburg; King Ludwig's fanciful castles; snow-covered mountain resort towns; and more.
Visions of Germany: Along the Rhine-One of the world's great rivers, the Rhine provides the perfect route to explore southwestern Germany, from Lake Constance to Cologne, with side trips to the Black Forest of legend and lore, the rich wine region, historic Bonn, the romantic string of castles like beads on a necklace at Koblenz, Heidelberg, and more.
Includes bonus footage not seen on public television.
Utilizing aerial shots and a soundtrack that includes folktunes as well as classical masterpieces by Beethoven, Wagner, and Strauss, Visions of Germany is a feast for the eyes and ears. Broken up onto two discs, one 79-minute segment tackles the bucolic sections of Germany along the Rhine, while the other (clocking in at 77 minutes) showcases Bavaria and southeastern Germany. The angles caught by the helicopter-mounted camera are impressive, though at times it would be nice to catch a street-level shot or two to shake things up. From the storybook-esque castles to the pristine gardens that rival any in England or Japan, the imagery in this travel documentary is stunning, lush, and often times breathtaking. Where the set fails is in the narration. While soft and calm, the speaker's voice is so devoid of any sort of expression that viewers may be better served watching the footage with the sound turned off. --Jae-Ha Kim
