Summary
If film be an extract of Life – minus the boring parts in between – then the short film "Sapperlot" is the dreamlike quintessence of cinematography. Essential aspects of film reception are summarized in a sociological commentary by Dr. Gerhard Schäuble, while free-wheeling snippets of panoramic film footage combined with found footage excerpts illustrate the text in a kaleidoscopic manner. The variety of visual and acoustic impressions are elusive, as they are nourished by illogical hallucinatory memories of life and the awareness of secret, often suppressed, desire(s).
*"Sapperlot" doesn’t really correspond to any English exclamation, though several come close to it … think "Good Lord!", or, better still, think French, think "Parbleu!" – that comes closest.
