'Dam rain

Rain (1929)

Directed by Mannus Franken and Joris Ivens this is a short documentary. We see the city of Amsterdam as it gets rained on.

Fitting in with the genre of city symphonies this film extends the genre slightly by adding the weather to it. The shots capture both the city and the effect the weather has on it nicely. While this may not stand out a huge amount it is still a worth addition to a more lyrical genre.


4/5
