Soshun is the most outstanding piece of film analysis in decades – based on only the first few minutes of the subject’s work. Each section covers a different topic in the film and you’ll find a lot of split pages with screens from the film intermixed with concept art of that scene. Film buffs may want to collect this as a piece of history and to dig into the production side of movies.

A sui generis reimagining of film history – a poetic treatise, cultural delirium and phenomenological evocation of the mysterious, multiform rapture of watching. A lot of CGI was necessary for this movie and it’s pretty clear with just one look at the artwork how much effort went into production. Forget that you’re making a film”; “Slow films in which everyone gallops and gesticulates; quick films in which people hardly move”; “Your film must be like the one you see while shutting your eyes.Socrates’ mise en scène depicts underground captives facing a wall on which the light of a fire casts lifelike shadows, which they mistake for reality.
