A stranger (Norman Boyd) helps a religious brother (Michael Lake) and sister (Melissa Davis) build a crude plane to fly out of the desert.

It could easily bore anyone who isn't willing to just sit back and enjoy (illicit substances may help) but it looks beautiful.

Starburst

When the project gets underway a sense of (ultimately bittersweet) hope is added to the narrative, but the score and pacing could have done with something a little different in the middle to break up the monotony.

Rated: 6/10

Le premier film d'Alex Proyas, Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds est aussi beau que son titre. En effet, ce film post-apocalyptique situé dans les déserts d'Australie ne raconte pas grand chose et ressemble beaucoup à du David Lynch mâtiné aux décors d'un Mad Max mais possède une atmosphère bien à lui, en particulier dû à la musique omniprésente de Peter Miller. L'humour se mêle à l'angoisse du vide, la narration est simple mais étalée généreusement sur 1h30 et les acteurs sont absolument parfaits. Tour à tour inquiétant, hilarant et surtout étouffant, Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds est une expérience extrêmement intéressante, parfois même passionnante malgré le manque d'enjeu dramatique fort. C'est une curiosité à découvrir absolument.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
