Steven Spielberg is considered one of the greatest storytellers of all time, timeless classics such as “ET – The Extra-Terrestrial”, “Jurassic Park”, “Jaws”, “Indiana Jones” or “Schindler’s List” testify to this with the greatest enthusiasm for escapism. So it’s only logical that the now 75-year-old tells a story about storytelling… well, that’s it.
More precisely: About the infinite power and still completely tangible fascination of the medium of film, the greatest art form of the 21st century, which allows us to let our fascination run free and get to know ourselves without fear and without the restrictions called reality. And of course a story about cinema, that dream-like, dark place of longing and consolation with the bright light at the end. The place of the extraordinary.
But the best words about the miracle of moving images come from the master himself, who once said: “Whenever I watch a movie, I want to feel magic. Film is like life around us – only better.”
