Great cinematic minds sharing what it is they so love about their medium of choice. Anthology films can be risky business, arguably putting the fate of the piece as a whole in the weakest of each of the segments' hands, but here there are so few duds that quality reigns supreme. The standard in general is impeccable, and it's great to see what so many interesting directors can say on cinema in just three minutes. Von Trier, Cronenberg, and Egoyan are welcome distinctions from the overall theme of adulation, decrying modern cinema-going and lamenting "the death of cinema". Cimino turns up to nearly ruin it, of course, but overall it's a fantastically enlightening and just plain entertaining tour of different perspectives on an art form.

Film with a bunch of shorts directed by well knows directors. A film about the love for cinema, by the people behind cinema itself. I enjoyed most of it, but some of it was pretty bad. My ratings:
10 Atom Egoyan (segment "Artaud Double Bill")
09 Ming-liang Tsai (segment "It's a Dream")
09 Lars von Trier (segment "Occupations")
09 David Cronenberg (segment "At the Suicide of the Last Jew in the World in the Last Cinema in the World")
09 David Lynch (segment "Absurda") (Bonus)
08 Roman Polanski (segment "Cinéma Erotique")
08 Takeshi Kitano (segment "One Fine Day")
08 Theodoros Angelopoulos (segment "Trois Minutes")
08 Yimou Zhang (segment "En Regardant le Film")
08 Aki Kaurismäki (segment "La Fonderie")

35 short films, directed by different directors, about their feeling on Cinema. Some are funny, some dark but in resume they all share an important thing; ART

An interesting concept with a few nice, little gems. My favorites were probably Billie August’s, Cronenberg’s, Polanski’s and Von Trier’s.
A quarter of them really weren’t my cup of tea. Guess I wasn’t in the mood for artsy, abstract French films. Maybe another time.
