Comments

Uncle Yanco

1968 France

Family is a construction. And because of that so real.

The same is true for all documentaries.

North by Northwest

1959 USA

What does the "O" stand for? Nothing!

The Bigamist

1953 USA

In a bus, driving through Beverly Hills, but not interested in how the stars but how the rest of us live. Together.

Los

2001

When we are no longer told what to look at, we will see that every sight is inexhaustible.

HÖHENFEUER

1985 Switzerland

Simple words producing earthquakes: "Bi ir Hoffnig"

Cut

2013

Everything you always wanted to know about the violence of editing but were afraid to watch.

Das TESTAMENT DES DR. MABUSE

1933 Germany

The ultimate sound film.

Les Vacances de M. Hulot

1953 France

Spotting gags like seashells on a shore.

MIAMI VICE

2006 Germany, USA

Drive. In all its meanings.

Mandabi

1968 Senegal, France

Follow the money.
