If you loved Lumière & Compagnie, try Jedem sein Kino
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Abbas Kiarostami, Andrei Konchalovsky, Claude Lelouch, David Lynch, Raymond Depardon, Theo Angelopoulos, Wim Wenders, Youssef Chahine, Zhang Yimou, and they both carry the cerebral, playful mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lumière & Compagnie, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Jedem sein Kino is
A collection of shorts, then, each director offering what amounts to a cinematic shrug. Thirty-three filmmakers respond to the prompt of what cinema means to them. The result is a mixed bag, though at least it's reliably brief.
