Plan your route to Filmcursus: hetzelfde is niet hetzelfde 3

Take a look in advance

A fresh, open and curious look at film. That is what film journalist and course instructor Kevin Toma (de Volkskrant) always enthusiastically conveys to his audience. With Same is Not the Same, he presents his latest and most adventurous course to date.

In this course, we often compare one film side by side with another to clearly see their similarities and differences.

And you’re probably familiar with them: those deceptively identical puzzle pictures that invite the viewer to take a closer look for the subtle differences between them. Some movies also play this game to the fullest, if only by repeatedly placing their characters in exactly the same (or not quite identical) situations. Such time-and-space-loop films form a genre of their own, ranging from comedies (Groundhog Day) to sci-fi blockbusters (Edge of Tomorrow) and from classics (Lola rennt) to recent arthouse hits (Exit 8). In this third session, we’ll explore what makes these cinematic loops so fascinating, and what else a film can do to effectively repeat itself.
