Fabulous compilation of seven short films.
By milnerv from Dorset , 13 Dec 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
The film comprises seven short films by seven different directors separated by interludes of flowing water and a trumpet theme, the films being alternatively shot in colour and black and white.
With the exception of Werner Herzog’s short about the destruction of a Brazilian ethnic culture the films capture a snapshot in time of the characters lives, we learn nothing about them and the themes are universal.
The finest short is “Lifeline” directed by Victor Erice about the birth of a baby in 1940s Spain set during a dreamy lazy summer afternoon, this is superb cinema.
I also loved “Int. Trailer Night” depicting a ten minute rest for a film star in her trailer, complete with interruptions and phone call from her boy friend, a beautifully done vignette. Also the first film “Dogs have no Hell” directed by Aki Kaurismäki about a middle aged man and woman setting off from Moscow to Siberia to start a new married life, the characters are not attractive to look at and one wonders what are their real feelings or is it an act of desperation.
I would not have believed this format could work, but it does and I am placing a companion film “Ten Minutes Older – Cello” on my rental list.- Was this review helpful to you?

(12)One out of ten only
By ghedgehog (26 reviews) from Milton Keynes , 14 Nov 2009The first of these shorts I quite enjoyed, but after that they became just too abstract and surreal for my taste. Renowned directors they may all be, but that's no guarantee they can deliver a watchable short film!- Was this review helpful to you?

a bit intellectual, but worth it
By a customer from Reading , 14 Mar 2009I love the one in Spain. Incredible the amount of suspense you get with such little action- Was this review helpful to you?

Satisfying
By a customer from Falmouth , 28 Feb 2009Just like a book of short stories this series takes you in all sorts of directions - AND- entertains.
I particularly like the Wim Wenders film for its cleverly presented moral tale.
I look forward to the rest of the series.- Was this review helpful to you?

superb!
By a customer from Plymouth , 16 Aug 2008Very good short films from independent directors. Except the one directed by Spike Lee, because American politics is very boring subject.- Was this review helpful to you?

interesting, if a little disjointed
By rpopper65 (151 reviews) from London , 28 May 2008Fascinating compilation of short films by some brilliant directors. Lots of variety, but these sorts of things always leave me wishing that some short films had been left out and others had been expanded into a full-length film.- Was this review helpful to you?
