Sonne halt! has been the benchmark and crown jewel of Austrian avant-garde filmmaking. A surreal labyrinth with the leading role played by Konrad Bayer as the dandy and sailor. Filmed in Monterosso al Mare in the Cinque Terre in the winter of 1959 with a hand-cranked camera. The sheer precision of the sound and picture editing is remarkable.
