Bar Talks by Schumann
Charles Schumann. The man behind the institution that is Schumann’s Bar, an author - his book ¨The American Bar¨ has long since become a global classic of bar literature - a model, a thinker and a traveller in bar matters. At 75, it is just the right age to continue following his curiosity about life, people and their stories. Schumann tours some of the most interesting bars in the world, taking the viewer to places of longing, throwing the doors opens to, among others, the Dead Rabbit in New York, the Hemingway Bar in Paris, Havana’s El Floridita and the High Five Bar in Tokyo. He lets the bars tell their own stories and speaks to the people whose lives belong to the blue hour which they celebrate and enjoy. He meets bar flies, movers and shakers, and storytellers, constantly on the lookout for the secrets of bar culture. Each bar is its own little universe, with its own drama that is brought to life anew with each passing day.
