To Each His Own Cinema

El Biffo

Certainly of interest to die-hard cinema geeks like myself. Obviously, with 33 directors doing 5 minutes each, some pieces are better than others; it is a collective work. Jeanne Moreau is in it! wandering through an old cinema house. And there is a piece by Jean-Pierre Dardenne which meant that I HAD to see it. Look up the full list of participants online.Must-see if you love looking at old or strange cinema houses!

Correction: 'To Each THEIR Own Cinema'. There, much better. What a smorgasbord of critically appraised directors, painting a valuable canvas asserting the current span of contemporary arthouse cinema. It may not fully coalesce as a collaborative entity, but there is much of merit in the majority of these short vignettes on the nature of film. 3.5

My favorite shors were from these directors: Manoel de Oliveira, Chen Kaige, Nanni Moretti, Cronenberg, Wim Wenders, Claude Lelouch, Walter Salles and Zhang Yimou. My least faborite were the shorts directed by Assayas, the brothers Dardenne, Egoyan and Amos Gitai.

Lynch/Fellini

The anthology film is so undervalued and I'm really glad this exists. However like any anthology film, especially ones with this many shorts, you have to expect a wide range of quality. Perhaps the two worst are the ones by Iñaritu and Polanski, but on the bright side the two best were the ones directed by Nanni Moretti and Theo Angelgopoulos!

Some of our best auteurs offer their introspection on cinema and accordingly the result is a mixed bag. Interesting that so many view cinemas themselves as vacant ghost towns, and there seems to be the typical misguided fear for the future and nostalgia for the past. Also few representations of digital evolution, which made Egoyan's contribution interesting. Liked LVT, Polanski, Wenders, Tsai, Chahine, Coens.

David Lynch"Absurda"...Marvelous!! Angelopoulos' mini-sequel for La Notte was a really nice surprise. I liked to see Lars von Trier trying comedy(well,at least he tried...) . Roman Polanski being Roman Polanski. Wong Kar-Wai's was one of the most beautiful

I liked a lot the shorts, my favorite segments being Youssef Chahine, Oliver Assayas, Roman Polanski, Claude Lelouch and Innaritu's. I don't like Egoyan's because it was promoting bad behavior, thankfully Lars von Trier was there to correct it.

I only liked Roman Polanski and Lars Von Tier's. The only two that got a reaction out of me. All the other film makers failed at being creative.
