I couldn't find my Chaplin at Keystone set

So tonight me and dad are gonna embark on the Heimat Trilogy, this is the longest arthouse work I have composed of 3 series, 1st is around the length of Berlin Alexanderplatz, but the 2nd which I hold up in highest regard is even way longer, and i've never finished it and a relatively short 3rd part which i've only tested a few minutes of, this is now film festival wise top priority, and might be the only thing watched for April.

Heimat 1 is about this small town in Germany, where a soldier comes home but leaves, and through all the episodes it chronicles this town and it's people from just after WWI to around the 80s when this was made,

Heimat 2 is set in the 60s in Munich following the son of the main character mother from the first series, and his life as a modernist music composer and his friends in the music place, along with some filmmakers.

Heimat 3 I think follows this composer to the time when the Berlin Wall came down.

There's another piece to this legacy that I don't have which covers the town from the first series in the 1800's.

It's a nice slow homesy kind of series that is in stark contrast with American shows, and it's lovely!!
