Lou Reed’s 1973 album “Berlin” was a commercial failure. Until 2006 the work was never performed live. Filmed over five nights at a Brooklyn warehouse, director Julian Schnabel captured Reed’s masterwork about love’s dark sisters - jealousy, rage and loss. Projected film images of actress Emmanuelle Seigner, the symbol for this tragic tale, accompany Reed’s haunted orchestral songs.
Featuring a back up band that includes Sharon Jones, Antony, Fernando Saunders and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Schnabel’s “Berlin” is described as one of the greatest concert films ever shot.
