Go check out his Letterboxd account! 🎬 I’ve been interested in films since I was a kid, but for the past 1–2 years I’ve really started to take cinema more seriously and dive deeper into it. What I appreciate most is slower-paced filmmaking and the way films can affect you on a deeper level — when you feel completely drawn in from the beginning and stay with the experience even after it ends. For me, cinema is not just about the story, but about how it feels. I’m especially interested in how films can create atmosphere and emotion, and how they can almost “pull you into” their world. The visual side of film plays a very important role for me. At the beginning, I was mainly inspired by the style of Wes Anderson — I really liked his use of composition, color, and overall aesthetic. Over time, I started to explore different kinds of cinema and found myself more drawn to directors like Andrei Tarkovsky, Stanley Kubrick, and Ingmar Bergman. For me, these are filmmakers who have changed what cinema can be — not just entertainment, but something more thoughtful and impactful. I recently went on my first pilgrimage, walking from Bolsena to Rome — an experience that meant a lot to me on a personal level. Along the way, I stayed in monasteries, which gave the journey a very special atmosphere. I had the opportunity to speak with nuns, and those conversations were both insightful and grounding. It was a completely new experience for me, and one that I truly valued. The pilgrimage brought me closer to God and allowed me to reflect on many things with a clearer mind. While in Rome, I was also able to witness a major religious gathering with Pope Francis, which was something I had never experienced before. I attended an Italian mass for the first time and was genuinely impressed by how engaging and powerful it felt. The following day, I visited Vatican City and listened to the Pope’s Easter address. Hearing parts of it in my native language, German, and receiving his blessing and Easter wishes made the moment even more meaningful. It was also my first time inside St. Peter’s Basilica, which left a lasting impression on me. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable journey that brought me closer to God and will stay with me for a long time Thanks for 700 Followers 🎬
