Europe’s CineEuropa<\/em> magazine has a short review<\/a> in English of the new film Kinorama \u2013 Beyond the Walls of the Real<\/em> (2021), by acclaimed Portuguese director Edgar Pera (Jackass 3D<\/em>). <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The new film tries… <\/p>\n

to connect human primal fears, Lovecraftian monstrosities and modern 3D-movie technology [via a] 62-minute ride into visual obscurity and the depths of philosophy<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

prose by H.P. Lovecraft [is] performed in a gravelly growl by Keith Esher Davies, as well as statements by interviewees [including] literature critic S.T. Joshi<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently at one point a real motorbike literally floats from the screen into the audience…<\/p>\n

The astonished spectators will get the chance to interact with a motorcyclist descending into the movie theatre, freed from the two-dimensional limitations of the screen. With Lovecraft, one is never quite sure what the cosmic limits of his gaze are. 3D, too, has only just scratched the surface of what is possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sounds good. Kind of ‘Derek Jarman meets Terence McKenna’, by the sound of it. One wonders what Pera might do with AI visuals in future. <\/p>\n

Less alluring and also from that part of the world, Jaume Balaguero’s movie Venus<\/em> (2022) is set for Amazon Prime and Sony as a forthcoming TV movie. Advanced publicity positions it as as a “loosely” based and very “bloody” version of Lovecraft’s “The Dreams in the Witch House”, transferred to and cheaply filmed in the modern “dirty” slums of Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
