Room 666
Dir: Wim Wenders
1982
*****
Room 666 is an interesting historical film piece. I say that because it's basically pure speculation from a 1982 viewpoint. Basically, during a film festival, director Wim Wenders convinced a selection of attending directors to come up to room 666 to be interviewed. Each had one reel and 11 minutes and a set list of questions to answer. Some directors get it right, some get it wrong, it's fascinating to see who has 'Made it' since and who has disappeared into nothingness. Highlights include Godard's mumbled wisdom, Herzog taking his shoes off, Spielberg being right on the money and Paul Morrissey getting it completely wrong and showing himself up for what he really is. A great insight for real film fans!
