The "Cities of Love" world tour continues with ten short pieces set in Berlin. Some are whimsical and some are cute. Some are funny and some are vaguely unsettling. One (the episode starring Mickey Rourke) is downright creepy. The characters include a cab driver, a filmmaker, a social worker, a puppeteer, a spy and an angel. Like most anthologies, it's a mixed bag, but the best segments are worth tuning in for. You can decide for yourself which ones those are.
