POMPEJI

About This Movie

So, 'Pompeji' is this really intriguing mix of documentary and performance art. It uses a split-screen format that's a bit disorienting at first but in a good way. Christlieb, the director, takes us on this almost spherical journey, layering images that are visually striking and, I’d say, painterly. It digs into these artistic attitudes and how contemporary music interacts with them, which adds a depth to the viewing experience. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, inviting you to really absorb what’s happening on screen. It’s a distinctive piece that pushes boundaries and makes you think about art and music in a fresh light.

As for collector interest, 'Pompeji' is still fairly new, so there aren't many editions floating around just yet. Given its unique format and artistic approach, I can see it gaining attention among collectors who appreciate experimental cinema. The scarcity might increase as the years go by, especially if it resonates more with art circles, which adds an intriguing layer to its future value.
