The cuter the animal, the more Intrusive the music. This time a fun major signals-Muzak, that’s nothing to worry about. We can relax and watch some gopher on dusty terrain, to scratch, pull or males do. The rodents from the family of the squirrels are so lovely, that the anthropomorphism strikes automatically. Speaker Dietmar miracle lets us know: “Sweet flowers, sour Grass and a protein snack, because of the happy ground bacon.” The habitat makes the Idyll perfect – the ground squirrels cavort on dry meadows on the edge of the Vltava river.

Angelika Sigl is the course of more than four hundred kilometers long stream followed, in order to explore its wildlife. It rises in two source-rivers – the-Cold Vltava river in the Bavarian forest and the Warm Vltava river in the Czech Republic – that unite just behind Wallern. In some Places it is reminiscent of a stream, then again he appears to be untamed and wild. The cultural testimonies on the shore we take the same en passant with how the rags played in smetana’s “Vltava”. The woman’s castle, we learn that she is in the early Gothic style, and several times was rebuilt. Their history is only hinted at.

a result of patient observation?

This haste characterizes the whole Film. Sigl presents pretty pictures of Schell duck and hoopoe, Kingfisher, and beaver, marsh Harrier and badger. Unfortunately, the necessary care when dealing with the Material missing. About the bags tit it is, it is the smallest tit of Europe. Actually, that is not true, because you will be charged, among other things, due to their different breeding biology in a family of their own. With the cabbage, or blue tit, it has less in common than their Name, we know at least, suggests. A red kite is dismissed, however, quite carelessly, as a “bird of prey”, a otter as an “Otter” is presented, although it is the family to which he belongs.

“The Moldau” is a Film that brings to us, free of any exotic, the familiar Fauna of Europe into the living room. In contrast to the bombastic, high-tech productions, where it first goes to the aesthetic presentation of far from Civilization, acts Sigls documentation is downright down-to-earth, not least because it creates the first impression to be the result of patient observation. In contrast, about the elfteilige BBC series “Planet earth” is a stunning picture editing spectacle. Who captures the untouched nature with technical equipment, and, paradoxically speaking, authenticity is staged, makes itself suspicious.
