Der Atemkünstler (2000)

This movie has far more potential as only being a 25 min short-film. Atmospherical intense, with a brilliant leading actor, beautiful images and well produced, shows "the breath-artist" of what we could expect in the future by these young people who did it. I hope this short-feature will cross the borders of Germany to be seen in the states and the U.K., although there is not a big market for short-films thumbs up for this ambitious piece of work. It reminded me a little bit of the performance artist Steve Blane, who locks himself away for the sake of art and manages to survive only through his mental strength. Similarities, but this film has a bit more fiction in it.
