LyriX – The Poet Hendrik Rost

by Kirstin Büttner, Frank Wörler, Linda Matern

Synopsis

How can arise moving image, that has its origin in the written or spoken word? The film "LyriX" deve- lops this question in a depiced way. Three poems of the lyricist Hendrik Rost – ‘X’, ‘Radio Germany’, ‘The last poem’- find complete expression in an exposed and difrent way. It evolves a dash of the world of the lyricist from Hamburg: As an avid surfer he exposes himself to the ocean. The physicality of this extreme sport can be sensed, but always stays in the aloof view of the camera.
