Reading Erik Sommers

Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.

Why this filmmaker matters

Erik Sommers has 0 writing credits in the Nutevio catalogue. Erik Sommers is an American television writer, television producer and screenwriter. Description above from the Wikipedia article Erik Sommers, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

Signature style

The recognisable elements are visual style, rewatchability, originality. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same eye, re-tuned for different registers. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is staged.

Legacy

Sommers set terms other filmmakers now work against: the structures, the pacing and the refusal to explain. Awards bodies have often been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.
