This film consists of some lovely images of the mountains and clouds all set to lovely music. It's very relaxing and quite beautiful. This short silent film (with added music) is a DVD extra that comes on the DVD for Leni Riefenstahl's "Avalanche" (also known as "Storm Over Mont Blanc"). Like "Avalanche", "Das Wolkenphanomen von Maloja" is a very artistic film and features lovely shots of the mountains. However, this short appears to be intended solely as an art film--with no narrative. And, because it did not clumsily add in a story (that really didn't fit), it works much, much better than the feature on the DVD. So, this is a rare case where I recommend the extra but not the main film itself! It's worth seeing but I certainly would not purchase "Avalanche" to get it.
