CHAIN REACTIONS

In the organizer's words:

Documentary - US 2024 - 103' - OmeU

Director: Alexandre O. Philippe

What makes a movie a classic? Even 50 years after the release of Tobe Hooper's TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, it offers a disturbing viewing experience and seems more relevant than ever with its stark juxtaposition of progressive urbanites and backward rural populations in the USA. Director Alexandre O. Philippe (LYNCH/OZ) asked five celebrities - including Stephen King and Takashi Miike - how the film influenced them. They provide both personal and illuminating insights into a powerful pop-cultural phenomenon.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.
