Luminal is many things: a drug, a novel by Isabella Santacroce and an Italian film.
If you are aware of Isabella and the movie it is thanks to Lore, Brian and Tomas, and it is a fact that I asked them to write a few words about the film.
Brian Nowak http://www.myspace.com/kisiljevo : "The film is a visionary journey to the human sadness, the inner life of girls scattered across the world and within themselves, a drama because it reflects the total absence of a future not very great indeed topical, Luminal shokkante is the forecast of a near future where nihilism is the current philosophy and the exaltation of the self is a challenge that is already known to be lost from the start. "
Benzodiazepam Lore: " With regard to the vision of writer, Luminal wants to be a violent history and romantic, a search of the poem seems to be no where. So the world of prostitutes, drugs and drug use becomes the background of their Sapphic friendship. Then yes, I agree with the fact that it is steeped in nihilism and neurotic exaltation of the individual and of his feelings, that made me like right away. When it was written, was more or less classified within the Italian literary movement of the 90s "Cannibal Youth." As for the film I think is a good book for transposition of scenes such as shooting, shocking, and for the use of colors (it is impregnated with neon lights, fluorescent) that recall the manga culture, that image plastic almost pretend that characterizes it. I disagree with "The film is a visionary journey to the human sadness," I would say to the love, affection, under conditions of human sorrow. In a world and culture in a nihilistic and devoid of values, the very concept of value. "
The two great protagonists are respectively Jemeela Mustchin Demon and the role of Maria Papas in to Davi, and the film is directed by Andrea Vecchione, I often wonder how to react to seeing a film based on a book of mine, Isabella Santacroce said about what ':
"Demon and Davi is the murder that I love. Reviewing the film that made Andrea Vecchione has been violent. I wanted to say that I had betrayed him. that the plaintiffs were bad. There are successful. What has created is beautiful. "
The soundtrack is simply superb, dreamlike ... written by Michael Nyman and Gavin Rossdale, and read romantic melodies with electronic music slots, which match with the clash of the night with the morning light, the screams of cursing, a melancholy poem while entering in a different style from the classic Michael Nyman still has its identifying marks.
The film although there are still little known, won Best Film at the Rome Independent Film Festival in 2004. What else can I say? Lore and Brian were all perfect in their 'review', Tomas has ironically (I hope), declined the invitation to write, saying that everything had already been written, but a movie at the end always cracks personal, that could never be another write in your place, especially in art films, underground, futuristic ... and I've seen in certain scenes myself, in scenes that contain specific, whispering voice, red spots, and the end which is nothing but a beginning is always the same even when I recalled how I cursed the morning Demon and Davi, now you do not curse anymore? Well many things have changed and I can not curse if you do not hope for a change, but sometimes you do not even have the possibility of belief in a future that is not only a film that is repeated and therefore consumes up slowly to disappear.
