Time Goes by Like a Roaring Lion

director: Philipp Hartmann
original title: Die Zeit vergeht wie ein brüllender Löwe
country: Germany
year: 2013
running time: 80 min.

synopsis

76.5 years – the average lifespan of a German man. 76.5 minutes – the length of this filmic essay on the nature of time. The filmmaker suffers from chronophobia, and he comes to terms with the painful passing of the years with the help of a collage of images and stories emphasizing concrete things. The film possesses an almost obsessive order: one minute, one year of life.

An arcane metal apparatus with a flash disappears in the stream of time like the famous DeLorean. In this “back to the future”, however, it is not cinematic magic. The private becomes the fantastic, and memories become sci-fi.
