Obsession (2015) by Tomáš Klein is a fascinating glimpse into a world that's slowly fading away. Oscar, our digital hipster guide, immerses himself in the culture of projectionists who still champion the beauty of 70mm film. It’s not just about the nostalgia; there’s this palpable tension as these passionate individuals navigate their craft – a bit chaotic and at times even risky. You can feel the weight of the film stock, the tactile nature that digital just doesn’t capture. The pacing ebbs and flows, mirroring the struggles these ‘last mohykans’ face. The atmosphere is rich, filled with a sense of urgency to preserve what’s left. It’s a love letter to film that, while somber, celebrates the spirit of those who refuse to let it die.
