Cinema Cycle - Vienna in Music



CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)



DATE REVIEWED: 01/05/2018

TITLE: Vienna in Music

FORMAT: Laserdisc

TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 93 minutes

DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 19.6 miles

TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 8439.9 miles

SYNOPSIS: Johann Strauss, father and son, and all the music they made famous


CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: It is like going back to the old country.  If your old country was Bavaria in the 1930s.


PROS AND CONS:  A classical concert film that is oddly mixed with scenes of everyday(?) Viennese life.  Only the scenes are obviously staged with out of work Opera extras or second rate actors.

It shows Vienna to be a very clean city, populated with very polite and rather restrained Caucasians that may or may not be medicated.

The music was excellent, as is usual with the Vienna Philharmonic, but after about 10 minutes, this video became background music while I checked email on my phone.


This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.

Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film.

This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle. A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
