Akt - 4 Leben ein Akt (2016)

Following his award-winning Mansfeld trilogy, Mario Schneider returns to Leipzig with a film that is simply astonishing. The basic idea is captivating: on one level, the film tells the story of three people who pose nude at the local art academy. This creates a point of intersection from which the film credibly enters and exits the world of its protagonists. At the same time, it connects the work of art with that of life, while the moment of posing nude invites viewers to contemplate the human body.
