Time Goes by Like a Roaring Lion
2013 · 1h 19m · N/A
Documentary
Directed by
Philipp Hartmann
Overview
Hartmann proposes a 76-minute film in which each minute stands for a year of his life. This obsessive rule is invoked in the last 4 “years” of his life (and of the film). A cable-car journey codes in its own duration the secret of a perdurable shot. A poetic emancipation by a young filmmaker: a life plan finding its right frame. Roger Koza
