Movie Reviews of Visions of Germany
Movie Review: Flying With The Valkyrie ~ A German Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
Much like most of you out there I first became acquainted with the `Vision Series' of aerial travelogue features on PBS television. Whenever I came upon one while channel surfing I'd immediately put the remote down and sit back and relax. It wasn't long before I decided these programs were something I'd never tire of watching and needed to be added to my private DVD collection.
Containing two program on two DVD discs, `Visions of Germany' is the fifth high altitude tour in the series following `Visions of ... Greece / Italy / England and France'. As with the previous four this '07 release whisks the audience away far above the maddening crowd to view Germany in all its incredible architectural and agricultural glory. Add to the visuals an robust German soundtrack and informative narration and your ready for departure!
Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw (and made a VHS tape of) this great traveloge during a local PBS pledge drive a couple of years ago.
Obviously, my original VHS tape quality cannot compare with this DVD version.
The photography is fantastic, and the aerial "bird's eye" view adds a whole new perspective to the many familiar sites that many of us have seen before either in person or through photos.
After viewing it I get the feeling that I should be raising my liter stein and saying, "ein prosit der gemutlichkeit."
Movie Review: Visions of Germany
Summary: 5 Stars
This two part video of Bavaria and the Rhine was beautifully shot and provided a very touching narrative. The technique of photographing the sites from the air lends a quality that could not be obtained from the ground. It very adequately shows off the beauty of the southern and western portions of Germany. Having been to many of the places described in the videos, it had a special meaning to us. However, for someone who has not visited Bavaria, I believe the video would be an enticement to plan a trip.Movie Review: Very nice but a few suggestions...
Summary: 5 Stars
I just wish there had been credits for the music selections at the end. And I think they should have used the music of Wagner right away at the beginning of the scene showing Bayreuth. For some reson they used Smetana but at least Wagner kicked in a few minutes later. A few of the folk music tunes were a bit obtrusive and didn't really flow together with the classical pieces, but that's just my personal taste.Movie Review: breathtaking
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the 'Visions of Germany along th Rhine'. My husband and I lived there fo eight years and three of our children were born there. Watching these videos makes me realy homesick.
I would like to know if anyone can tell me what the title of the female duet is that is sung at the beginning part of the bonus footage. [...]
Thanks,
