synthetischer film oder wie das monster King Kong von fantasie & präzision gezeugt wurde

Overview

An informative and entertaining documentary about special effects in film. The legendary 1930 film adaptation of "King Kong" serves as a central theme to trace the development of special effects in film from Méliès to the "New American Cinema." Helmut Herbst clearly illustrates filmmakers' dependence on technology and the resulting historical evolution of "cinematic language."

Directed by Helmut Herbst
