Dem deutschen Volke (Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Wrapped Reichstag). 1996. Written and directed by Wolfram Hissen, Jörg Daniel Hissen. In 1995, Christo and Jeanne-Claude realized their decades-old dream of covering the Berlin Reichstag in fabric. Often described as the pair’s most ambitious project, the "wrapped" Reichstag is presented from every angle and in every light in this witty chronicle of a remarkable technical feat. In English, German; English subtitles. 98 min.
