Elsewhere (Nikolas Geyrhalter, 2001)

One of the most important films of the decade (2000 - 2009) along with Wang Bing's Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks (2003) and Liu Jiayin's Oxhide and Oxhide II. These three films clearly justify the importance of cinema in this day and age. The fact that they were all shot digitally, with virtually just the director and his camera, also provide some sort of hope for the digital era. Every segment in Elsewhere left me contemplating some aspect of humanity and life. An incredibly poignant, thought-provoking and immaculately shot film.
