Immortal

 

aka: Immortel Ad Vitam
Italy / France / UK 2004, 102 minutes
Dir. Enki Bilal
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Science Fiction

 

Aroview: Adapted from the astounding 'Nikopol Trilogy' comicbook, this futuristic parable is set in New York in 2095, where an Egyptian god hovers above the city in a levitating stone pyramid, looking to satiate his ancient lusts. Meanwhile, in the stone bowels of the city, a scientist (Rampling) investigates a strangely immaculate blue-haired woman...

Conjuring a wealth of stark CGI backdrops and odd-looking characters this achieves a requisite unworldliness, though does feel slightly clumsy in its physical effect. However, as ambitious European sci-fi, this has metaphysical and technological trimmings to savour.
