The curious tale of Lou Reed`s 1973 album, BERLIN, is worthy of a documentary in itself. Its trajectory from critical and commercial failure to one of the most highly regarded records in his canon has vindicated Reed`s vision for the album. This concert film was shot 33 years after the former Velvet Underground frontman unleashed BERLIN on the world. A remarkable critical volte-face has occurred in the intervening years, although Reed has rarely performed material from the album. Director Julian Schnabel (THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY) headed to St. Ann`s Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York, at the tail end of 2006 to shoot this document of BERLIN`s live resurrection. The film is culled from a five-night stint at the venue in which Reed, and a host of guest performers, brought the album back to life.
