content
Colleagues, friends, directors, his wife and Michael Althen himself have their say in the film. The film largely manages without film clips. Michael Althen's articles and quotes go beyond the actual film and embody a passionate dialogue with the cinema.
Michael Althen once turned his hobby into a profession and impressed with his eloquence, his choice of words and his witty observations. In 2011 Althen succumbed to cancer. Dominik Graf reconstructs his friend in all his facets on the basis of conversations with filmmakers like Wim Wenders, Christian Petzold and Tom Tykwer.
criticism
The film service judged that the film was "much more than a portrait, because it also devoted itself extensively to Althen's texts that come to life in a completely different way in the cinematic medium". At the same time, the film recapitulates "wistfully a bygone era of film criticism". In his “melancholy about lost time”, however, “his polyphony” threatens to “get a little lost”.
Awards
The film received the German Film Award 2016 nominated in the category "Best Documentary", but lost out to the film Above and Below of Nicolas Steiner .
