Kino immer anders
In this unique double feature, Plastic Bag and Lessons of Darkness, the theme of perspective and point of view takes center stage, challenging the audience to rethink their relationship with the world around them. Plastic Bag, directed by Ramin Bahrani, follows a plastic bag on its existential journey in search of its creator, offering a unique commentary on environmental degradation and human negligence. Through the eyes of an object we typically dismiss as trash, the film makes us reconsider our relationship with the environment.
Werner Herzog’s Lessons of Darkness explores the aftermath of the Gulf War, depicting Kuwait’s oil fields through surreal aerial shots that transform real-life devastation into a haunting, otherworldly landscape. Herzog’s minimal narration and distant perspective turn the scenes of destruction into a surreal, almost alien experience. Narrated by Werner Herzog himself, both films immerse you in their powerful visuals and distinct perspectives, offering a viewing experience you won’t want to miss.
