Our take

As a filmic exercise, this ensemble of short films manages to crystallize each director’s personal style (Lynch! Assayas! Campion! Kaurismäki! The Coens!) Nostalgia is a running thread in this bittersweet celebration of the movie theater as a space of communion between the director and his audience.
