Director of Photography Robby Müller is one of the few people in the world who knows how to play the sun. How to catch its rays like butterflies. How to strike its beams like chords. When Robby moves his camera, the camera turns into a musical instrument. And the whole world dances, radiates, is illuminated. For her extraordinary film essay Director and DoP Claire Pijman had access to Müller's personal archive: thousands of Hi8 video diaries, personal pictures and Polaroids that Müller photographed throughout his career; often with long term collaborators such as Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch and Lars von Trier. The film intertwines these images with excerpts of his oeuvre, thus creating a fluid and cinematic continuum.

Robby Muller is a brilliant cinematographer of many classic movies directed by Jim Jarmush, Wim Wenders and Lars von Trier, among others. This documentary about Robby Muller life's work is impressive, touching and playful, showing family snapshots and many playful other personal camera recordings, in which Robby Muller is playing with different shades of light. Catching reflections of light on film, is what made Robby Muller's work so breathtakingly beautiful to watch. Life long colleague and friend, director Wim Wenders (Paris,Texas), praised Robby Muller's gift to play with light in such a way that he referred to him as a "Dutch Master of Light", which is a reference to the 17th century Dutch painters, who excelled in portraying landscapes with gorgeous dynamic contrasts.
What was most striking for me about this documentary was the fact that director Wim Wenders and Robby Muller already knew how their pictures should look like before they ever started shooting, by simply looking at photographs and talking about the mood of the picture beforehand. Many scenes in Robby Muller's films do have the same stunning quality and intensity as a still picture or a painting and that is probably due to the affection Robby Muller had with art photos.
I will cherish and rewatch the many great classics Robby Muller has made during his lifetime. What a marvelous camera genius...
