Legendary sin Cities

BERLIN: Metropolis of Vice

Directed by Marrin Canell and Ted Remerowski. 2005. 60 min.

During the Weimar Republic, Berlin was a cauldron of hedonism; uncensored and untiring, the city indulged in every form of sex. And just as Berlin was open-minded toward all things erotic, it was also tolerant toward avant-garde artistic expression, liberal political dialogue, and wide-ranging scientific inquiry. In tracing the sociopolitical history of the era, this program spotlights key figures of those heady times, including key figures such as Anita Berber, Bertolt Brecht, Marlene Dietrich, George Grosz, and Christopher Isherwood.
