"Der Lauf der Dinge" or "The Way Things Go" is a documentary film from 1987, so this one will have its 39th anniversary next year. It is a Swiss-American co-production and the two filmmakers in here are Peter Fischli and the late David Weiss. Their movie here runs for slightly under half an hour and is basically a chain-reaction from start to finish. Physicists and chemists may have a great time watching all the reaction and developments in here, but everybody else will be bored just like I was I guess. For general audiences, it is really only worth seeing during the first 5 minutes and then it becomes all the same basically, even if that is certainly not true from a scientific perspective. The good thing is that there is no dialogue in here, so no matter where you are from, you can watch it. There are no actors or interviewees in here either as a consequence. I personally do not see this as a decent watch for general audiences. Thumbs down, even if I appreciate the filmmakers' effort as this was certainly one hell of a film to make in terms of difficulty.
