note: this is a pal dvd; if you live in the usa or a ntsc/non-pal nation and don’t possess either a multi-region dvd player or a computer that will play multi-region dvds (this disc played straight away with no modification or region-changing on both my recent and not-so-recent macs) then you will assuredly be rewarded with either a monochromatic or simply scrambled image... |

| signers koffer is a kind of road movie across europa. from the siviss alps to eastern poland, from stromboli to iceland. always following the scenery's magically charged contours. immersing yourself, letting yourself be infected, then travelling on. roman signer determines the route that we are moving on and the film improvises along the way.
being on the road also means tracking down the right places. signer brings them alive using his own personel instruments, brilliantly simple operations full of subtle humour. «simple» poems being transmitted into space with instruments as gunpowder, fuse, rubber boots, balloons, stool, small table ... and a three wheelded plaggio.signers koffer is also a journey through the state of mind. a tightrope walk between fun and melancholy. danger also mental mental danger becomes the stimulus of the senses. sudden crashes, abrupt chagnes of mood determine the rythm and atmosphere of this cinematic journey.
«i have a sensitive hearing - i am ashamed almost for the noise, which an explosion causes.» - roman signer. |
