The Death of Cinema and My Father Too

A highly personal story of the director’s relationship with his father, their shared love of cinema, and his father’s illness. Rosenberg’s feature debut mixes fact, fiction, and autobiography as the film grapples with the big questions of life and death. Marek Rozenbaum as the father gives the beautiful performance of a man whose body is slowing down while he furiously struggles against mortality. With this documentary-feature hybrid film, Rosenberg sets a high bar for his future work. (Leiden International Film Festival)
