There is hardly any other musical genre that blends joie de vivre and melancholy like this one. Karin Berger's documentary HERZAUSREISSER, which is moving in the best sense of the word, is a real labor of love. She does not content herself with providing an overview of the history and scene, but focuses on the respective artists with all their likeable characteristics and creative energy. This is entertaining and amusing proof that the long tradition of the Viennese song continues and that it is always able to defy the much-invoked (and sung about) death with humorous serenity.

“The Wienerlied swings. It has the blues. It sounds like wanderlust and yet, whether you like it or not, it is rooted in concrete reality.” ISABELLA REICHER
