In class we watch a by Robert Lepage called Far Side of the Moon (La face cachée de la lune) made in 2003. The film is based on the play by the same name by Robert Lepage and Adam Nashman.
Robert Lepage's far side of the moon was very cleverly made as it it had the theme of the moon and reflections throughout the film. the cinematography was really inspiring as he used lot of graphic matching to tell his story and illusions. The props and locations were cleverly used to help show his memories, hopes anbd dreams. I posted this because i think that the film itself has alot visual elements which i found interesting and maytry out in the future.
So begins the epic story of Philippe, a man coping with the recent loss of his mother; the estrangement of his only sibling, his younger brother André; and the mysterious teachings the universe holds for those brave enough to look up to the stars and ponder. Time and place are secondary to Philippe's search for meaning in the universe and his place in it.
The competition between the Soviets and Americans during the space race, the SETI program (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence), and memories from childhood and adolescence act as touchstones for this production dealing with the fundamental question, "Are we alone?" Punctuated by Laurie Anderson's haunting score, the far side of the moon is a production that transports the audience to other worlds on the steady wings of Lepage's theatrical magic.
