Geschichte der Nacht plot
A wordless collage of (deserted) streets and squares in European cities during dark nights. A silent film poem as an ode to everything that lives and moves at night: ghosts, shadows, beams of light and a few dazed people.

Included in the MovieMeter list of Film Pegasus. Only 3 votes in the 2013 list and good for 997th place. And that's it. Quite rightly so, because it is a purely observational documentary. Not a word is spoken. The sound is blurry, except for some traffic or music from a ball here and there. We get an impression of what goes on during the night in various cities. A British city, a Croatian city... everything is alive. Streets and squares seem swallowed up in darkness, but that is only an appearance. The night is indeed fascinating and the images are sometimes beautiful, but watching this for over an hour is a long, very long time.
