Commanding and intense, Lou Reed’s Berlin, the most recent release from The Miriam Collection, is brought to life on DVD.

Lou Reed’s Berlin was directed by Academy Award nominee Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) and focuses on legendary front man of The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, returning to a very special moment in his solo career – a live performance of his infamous rock opera album “Berlin”.  In it Reed creates a complex world around a doomed couple by weaving moody themes of drugs and depression through heavy orchestral arrangements.

Lou Reed’s Berlin was filmed in December 2006 at the St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York.  There, Reed conveyed a painful yet beautiful story to a captivated audience with the assistance of a seven-piece orchestra and featured performances by guitarist Steve Hunter.

To win Lou Reed’s Berlin post your name and I will draw the winner Tuesday, October 21st.
