Room 666

documentary

In 1982 at the Cannes festival German Director Wim Wenders set up a camera and recording equipment in a hotel room, wrote out several questions about the future of cinema and invited various filmmakers to go in and record their thoughts.

Sort of interesting but having no questioner in the room hurt. These people floundered. Some were interesting...Godard, Spielberg, Susan Seidelman...but most were clearly uncomfortable and didn't have much to say, but could have been drawn out by a good interlocutor.

Some historical value at this point...just not enough.
