Cinema 16

Here is the empire magazines review of cinema 16, I will then be choosing and anylazing my favorite films from this collection

Plot
A selection of short films from some of Europe's best directors.

Review
Compilations always have low points, and neither Javier Fesser nor Jan Kounen's contributions will win new fans. However, there are shorts here that intrigue and impress with their visual ingenuity (including early efforts by Lars Von Trier and Tom Tykwer).

But it's the old guard who provide the highlights - Krzyzstof Kieslowski's biting Concert Of Requests, Roy Andersson's bleakly satirical World Of Glory and Jean-Luc Godard's charming Charlotte Et Véronique.

Verdict
The chance to see early work from some European greats more than makes up for a few weaker entries.
