Synopsis

TEN MINUTES OLDER: THE CELLO is the second of two feature length compilations of short films exploring each participating director's personal vision of time. The first feature was TEN MINUTES OLDER: THE TRUMPET. TEN MINUTES OLDER: THE CELLO showcases the contributions of eight further auteur directors bringing the total contributors to fifteen.

THE CELLO features films from:
Bernardo Bertolucci - HISTOIRE D'EAUX
Mike Figgis' - ABOUT TIME 2
Jiri Menzel - ONE MOMENT
Istvan Szabó - TEN MINUTES AFTER
Claire Denis - VERS NANCY

As in TEN MINUTES OLDER: THE TRUMPET, each short is linked by a musical instrument (in this case a cello), allowing each picture to have its own frame. The musical interlude for TEN MINUTES OLDER: THE CELLO is performed by Claudio Bohorquez and was scored by Paul Englishby.
