Das Wolkenphänomen von Maloja

Very pretty dry-run for Fanck's mountain films. Beautiful experiments with the shape of the film canvas.

Pretty mountains, pretty pictures, nice serene soundtrack.

A prototype/sample of what was Arnold Fanck's legacy in cinema. This is just a short documentary of nature. He's usually specialized in mountain films with a story. Most notably with Leni Riefenstahl. Very stunning films. Here we just get the beautiful landscapes way up there.
