Time Goes By Like a Roaring Lion

Die Zeit vergeht wie ein brüllender Löwe

Directed by Philipp Hartmann, Jan Eichberg
Germany, 2013
Documentary

Synopsis

Director Philipp Hartmann puts his chronophobia to fascinating and occasionally funny use in this very German essay motivated by a very common anxiety: fear of the passing of time. His continent-hopping journey is poetic and evocative by turns.
