Man Walking Around a Corner

The film constructs a powerful dialogue between a groundbreaking technological artifact and a profoundly private act of communication. It relies on the simplicity of its subject to explore the monumental birth of cinema as a medium for human intimacy and connection.

What lingers after viewing is the profound weight of a single, ordinary gesture, now forever transformed into the first step of a visual revolution. The man walking becomes everyman, and the corner, the turn into a new century. — MovieFinder Editorial
