Peter Mettler's retrospective

The Top of His Head

The protagonist of the film is Gus, an ordinary satellite dish salesman. His life changes dramatically when he meets the radical performance artist Lucy. Mettler’s film immerses itself in a comic and phantasmagoric love story in which Gus almost wanders into the vastness of the material world. The spectator, however, is guided through the lens of unique and only cinematography by Peter Mettler almost as it is the new way of seeing.
