fi short showcases new technology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Written and directed by Luke Scott (Ridley son),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the sci-fi short film "Loom" is gathering attention and praise on film and sci-fi sites to illustrate the clear beauty of RED Epic 3D and also the company new laser projector. Cinematographer Dariusz Wolski does gorgeous use the camera,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bolstered by an atmospheric score, however it Scott script and direction, along with Giovanni Ribisi quiet performance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that relate the 20-minute film has possibility to become more.
Ribisi plays Tommy, a dogged lab tech of commercial food who, though once known in the business as "The Apostate," seems to have rededicated himself to producing scientifically engineered meat. With deliberate nods to his father "Blade Runner," the film portrays a dystopian future rife with genetic engineering,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], corporate corruption of government and rampant infection,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it really about Tommy loneliness and the at-home experiment he conducts, perhaps over and over,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in tries to understand it properly. We don know how or when his loyalties shifted, but "the human genome is not proprietary" is a component of an answer. Tommy caught inside a circular enterprise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], attempting to capture something he lost.
While the film is beautiful (even poetic),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are enough unanswered questions inside the expertly crafted,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], suspenseful script to depart room for expansion. Viewer comments on various sites that have posted the film appear to agree the visuals are sound however the story lingers in suspense mode too much time for any brief self-contained piece, while also leaving too many unanswered questions.
The film ends on the heavy-handed note,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], having a lengthy voice-over quote from Darwin that might be better utilized as dramaturgical material than on-screen coda that somewhat inelegantly hammers home a few of the film themes. Not every short film must be developed into a two-hour feature, just as few successful short stories require the larger canvas of a novel. But good novels can begin out as a short project,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only to find themselves outgrowing their tight format.
Recent precedent for short-shorts turned into features trend more to violent camp (as well as delightfully cheap) fare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like Robert Rodriguez "Machete" and Jason Eisener "Hobo Having a Shotgun,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," a gory and funny Canadian exploitation film starring Rutger Hauer because the titular character. Both started as fictitious trailer projects with Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez "Grindhouse" ("Hobo" is also unexpectedly gorgeous, thanks to Karim Hussain photography).
Visually arresting sci-fi films demand higher budgets and expectations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it is possible to reason the short film format, screened primarily online, couldn be utilized for an evaluation for larger projects before they're going into big-budget production? Less viral marketing campaigns, but legitimate workshops that provide a wide range of critical response. The internet response to "Loom" could indicate there room for growth, since viewers from the short version have said, though not always in a lot of words, that they want to see more.
