quietearth [Celluloid 06.16.12] scifi drama romance



We've been covering Martin Villeneuve's epic looking far future flick for quite some time and even brought you the English trailer back in February. After a long wait, its having its world premier at the Karlovy Vary fest in the Another View section. Now if only I can talk them into letting me see it for a review as we don't have anyone to attend. Trailer below!

As Man is about to set foot on Mars, a small community of anticybernetics is busy trying to slow down time. Among them is JACOB OBUS (Jacques Languirand), an emblematic and beloved septuagenarian who creates captivating music on instruments inspired by the female body, designed by his friend ARTHUR (Paul Ahmarani). Once Jacob and Arthur fall in love with AVRIL (Caroline Dhavernas), a young and short-winded photographer, the old sex-symbol’s true nature is revealed. Upon discovering love for the first time in his life, Jacob leaves for Mars in search of his muse. In the midst of everything arrives EUGÈNE SPAAK (Robert Lepage), inventor, cosmologist and Arthur’s father, who maintains that Mars is only a chimera.
