The subway becomes the contemporary Tower of Babel in this amazing sound montage resonant of Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire, but at the same time far more diverse and yet ultimately highly focused and message-laden. Ms. Weber's amazing ear and audio editing and mixing ability bring a montage of international voices from people's descriptions of their feelings about riding the subway to an ultimate and moving conclusion as "intimate strangers" mix in a chaos theory mode to in the end finding themselves in the anonymity of the sea of humanity.
Wim Wenders, make way for Judith Weber
