12/24/2008 - The Genetic Opera (try it one more time)



The last post I made for this film seems to have destroyed itself. What with the DVD release date coming next month, I wanted to give this posting one more try to see if I could get it right. Watching the above trailer again, I find myself loving the film, though I have yet to see the complete production. I find myself both a critic of how they choose to portray the Dark Anima (female) characters, and being a raving fan of the look. All in all, I think what we have here is what Bakhtin called heteroglossia. I've come to realize that the lover of epic poetry in me is ashamed to admit love for this film; while the lover of the Modernist movement in me accepts, loves, and revels in its freakiness (since I myself am a "freak of nature.")


Things to consider before viewing (just to broaden the old mind):
Bakhtin's views of carnival and the grotesque...easily found at http://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bahktin#The_Dialogic_Imagination:_Chronotope.2C_Heteroglossia
