DIE FREIHEIT DER BÄUME
THE FREEDOM OF THE TREES
The camera captures breath-taking tableaux, details of trees and the river as well as Pückler's "visual axis" time and again while moving through the park like a stroller. The film explores – often on the soundtrack – the traces of human intervention in the landscape. Beauty and destruction lie close together – and so the great prince speaks of the "terrible power of man". An anticipation of further films by Bernhard Sallmann in Lusatia and a parable of the magic and tragedy of the region. GL
