THE BERLIN ART SOCIETY (on Cine-File)

This week over at Cine-File I wrote about Hannes Wesendonk’s debut feature THE BERLIN ART SOCIETY, a pleasure throughout. I called it "a droll black-and-white comedy about 20-somethings who form an art collective in the Kreuzberg neighborhood of Berlin. Wesendonk and cinematographer Nathan Juno have done an impressive job of giving the film the look and rhythm of the French New Wave; what’s more, Wesendonk has skillfully adapted that movement’s concern with the mores of youth culture into a portrait of his own creative generation."
