Synopsis

During the 35th Cannes Film Festival in 1982, Wenders asks a number of film directors from around the world to get, each one at a time, into a hotel room, turn on the camera and sound recorder, and, in solitude, answer a simple question: “What is the future of cinema?”

Synopsis

Our take

From Godard to Antonioni, Herzog to Spielberg, Wim Wenders gathers the great and good of world cinema to ponder an existential question. Enlightening and hilarious, Room 666 considers the aesthetics of television, and asks whether its polluting effects will sound a death knell for the seventh art.
