Respect the Dead - Pierre Bismuth (2001 - 2009)
Respect the Dead - Pierre Bismuth (2001 - 2009)
"Bismuth shows the first few minutes from films like "Dirty Harry", "Vertigo" or "Highlander". As soon as an actor dies in one of these films, the film ends abruptly and the credits follow. The radical cut turns initially irrelevant figures into main characters, calling for respect for their sudden death. For Hoehenrausch above the roofs of Linz, Bismuth has chosen a series of films in which the action takes place specifically on roofs, balconies or parking garages." - OK Centrum
