Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Studie Nr. 9" or "Study No. 9" is another one of German filmmaker Oskar Fischinger's films from the "Study" series. This one has sound, but no color yet. We hear a classical piece and see the shapes and structures in this 3-minute black-and-white film move to the rhythm as if they are dancing really. I must say I like most of Fischinger's other work better. In terms of the animation, this is actually really weak for a 1930s short film i must say and this music, well.. it is not his achievement. I also somehow do not really like the idea of relying on another artist's work and create a film around it. The visual side (maybe the story) should always be the core of a film and this one here would not have existed without Brahms' work. I think if you decide to just listen to the record, you will have at least the same experience as from watching this film, maybe an even better one. I don't recommend the watch.
