Living the light – Robby Müller

Robby Müller is one of the few people in the world who knows how to play the sun. How to strike its beams like chords. The director Claire Pijman had access to the thousands of Müller’s Hi8 video diaries, pictures and polaroids. These images and intertwined with excerpts of his oeuvre, thus creating a fluid and cinematic continuum. Müller collaborated with Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch and Lars von Trier; his work has been compared to that of painters like Vermeer and Hopper, also masters of light. He has always created space for the human story to speak through the images. To come into the light. LIVING THE LIGHT is the story of that light.
