Customer Reviews of Decasia
This is outstanding Although this will remind you of Begotten if you have seen that film, I found this to be much more intriguing than that film (which was very uneven, soaring high while occasionally bordering on tedious). The film also reminded me of Koyaanisquatsi and, believe it or not, some of the psychadelic sequences in Yellow Submarine! The soundtrack (it's very Phillip Glass) and the slow-motion effects are what are reminiscent of Koyaanisquatsi. Some of the sequences almost seem animated in the style of Yellow Submarine, looking as if they were animated pencil art you were watching (also reminded me of Bill Plympton's animated style). The images include amuzement park rides, miners pulling dead/injured workers from a mine shaft, a lakeside baptism, big city life, children being led through a monastary, etc. At 67 minutes long, it doesn't go on forever and those 67 minutes flew by for me. This is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but if you appreciate unusual cinema, this hits the spot square on. It's hypnotic and captivating on many levels.
abstract death march
I came across this by chance and was blown away by its
somber tone, the dissolving images. Sensitive viewers might
come away depressed by the haunting soundtrack and images destroyed by nitrate or warped by heat. There's a sense of loss
here that reminds me of old buildings, forgotten cities, childhoods lived among dusty, deserted streets.
This is a treat for any lover of art, painting, music, life.
DEAD IMAGES DANCE
DECASIA: THE STATE OF DECAY (Plexifilm), an experimental art film by Bill Morrison is edited entirely from bits and pieces of decomposed film found in neglected archives. Hallucinatory and haunting, the damaged images of places, people and events from times past are strange and out-of-context, but the brain tries to makes sense of them and the result is like a waking dream. Michale Gordon's innovative soundtrack of detuned instruments adds to the weird Dervish dance of dissolution.
