i first saw heimat 2 on bbc2 in the 90 when i be at art college living and move among artist and musician and hop for future success . so the second home of friendship make after leave the familial home and of strive for a professional excellence strongly resonate with my living reality . i be captivate by the character and the storytelling and the lyrical camera work and above all by the music . in it i could divine the beginning of german electronic music and of 50 stockhausen and kraftwerk and can and neue and faust of the 70 and the sound experiment of john cage and walter carlos and the british electronic psychedelia of the white noise . the soundtrack composer nikos mamangakis study with carl orff of carmina burana fame so i find it taste contemporary to the electronic pop or sound effect world . i hadnt see heimat or heimat 3 so i watch it a a whole in itself without a before or after . a someone else have comment and it be both epic and lyrical historical and artistic . many favourite moment include the wonderful voice of gisela muller ( evelyn ) and the bach marimba of daniel smith ( juan ) and the piano playing of henry arnold ( hermann ) and the cello playing of salome kammer ( clarissa ) . i could write more but it already be say here . why can not british or u tv produce such masterpiece . the wire have the realism and politics and epic sweep of a city and david lynch and dennis potter have imaginative trope to their serialised tv work too but this be art house and soap at it most cinematic and narrative sublime . it never include in critic choice of best film but it should be . still a poetic and powerful a when i first saw it over 17 year ago . i watch the 3 boxed set every autumn for their amellow fruitfulness . inspire and inspire .
