A Voyage into the Innermost of Vienna
(Eine Reise In Das Innere Von Wien)
Austria, 1995, 35mm, color, 89 min.
German with English subtitles.
Like Gerhard Roth's book with the same title, A Voyage into the Innermost of Vienna is a collection of seven places and seven destinies. The film encounters various people and random fates, exploring locations as it descends into the depths of the city with a team of sewage workers and then ascends to the tip of a cathedral tower with the head of the cathedral's building works department. Produced to mark the millennium, A Voyage into the Innermost of Vienna is an essayistic, associative journey that seeks to discover just how the city thinks, dreams, digests.
