German Expressionist Short Film "Richtung"

If you want to watch a German Expressionism Film, I suggest this one, because it is short.(I don't have much time to watch. )
Here is the link:

I want to share what I feel from watching the short film, I think it's a typical German Expressionism Film.
The reasons are:
  • it's a black and white film----unhappy, but depress
  • only one person in the whole film----you may feel insecurity
  • no talking at all, even to himself
  • the only people, a young man is always in narrow space, and always trying to find a way to walk out
  • it shows three different times by his three different watches 
  • you will feel he can never walk out of the narrow spaces, wherever he is in a staircase or in subway station... but at last he looks like found an open space (bright and wide) and walked out
  • My nerve relax...
At last, I want to say, this kind of situation would not happen in China, because we have a lot of people everywhere. That's why this kind of expressionism can not be produced in China.
