Review of Camera Buff (1979) by Edgar C — 19 Jul 2011
Every auteur has his/her own way to express his/her love towards cinema. We've had several testaments, from 8 1/2 to Pastoral: To Die in the Country, from La Nuit Américaine to Terror Firmer (haha). Camera Buff emanates love and passion in every frame, and tells us about the consequences such life may unleash along the way, both personally and those regarding people directly and indirectly involved with one's life.
As far as my experience has gone, I have not encountered a better Kieslowski masterpiece than this one. He must really have gotten very excited to have Krzysztof Zanussi in his film. Alternatively, Zanussi must have been intelligent enough to see promising talents in Kieslowski, just like fate stumbles upon Filip Mosz (Jerzy Stuhr) without previous warning.
99/100.
