content
At the beginning of the film we watch a winemaker at work, and immediately afterwards we watch people drinking wine in a long sequence. But this almost humorous excursion into the area of enjoyment and relaxation is immediately canceled by the speaker when he says about the winemaker: "His gaze does not relax when he looks at the grapes that disappear into the funnel to become what what makes you forget work and sadness. "
The start of the engine noise refers acoustically to the passing barges, the activity of the skipper and the hard and dangerous loading work in the port. Potassium is transferred from one barge to the other. The camera follows the people who take part in the harbor tours and finally shows an old woman sitting on a bench: "She sits and looks and thinks of her son between the sheds and ships".
The film ends in a bar where dock workers review their day. Guitar music sets in again: a woman walks along the pier and off.
reception
Similar to Mülheim / Ruhr, the opposites between the worlds collide in this film, in Rheinstrom it is leisure behavior and the world of work that collide along the river as an economically important artery.
"Rheinstrom is a materialistic poem and it says once in it" The river is born free "and perhaps also means people by the river."
Rheinstrom is currently available on a DVD with the complete works of Peter Nestler, the 35 mm film has been transferred to DCP ( Digital Cinema Package ).
