Review by Gary ToozeProduction:Theatrical: Transeuropa S.A. Description:Man Facing Southeast is Argentine director EliseoSubiela's 1986 cult classic, a powerfully movingscience-fiction parable of a saint-like stranger in an evenstranger land our Earth.
This critically-acclaimed gem hasnot been available on DVD or Blu-ray in the United States,until now.A man named Rantes (Hugo Soto) suddenly appears in a BuenosAires psychiatric hospital expertly playing theorgan. Butwho is he this man with no recorded identity? Doctor Denis(Lorenzo Quinteros) dismisses Rantes' claim of being analien visitor as a case of paranoid delusion. Beatriz (InesVernengo), his only visitor, sees him as an intimate andknowing companion. And the other patients, intrigued by hismysterious intelligence, see him as their only source ofhope. Driver usb device vid_1f3a_pid_efe8 windows 7. Inspiring, mystical, and unforgettable, Man FacingSoutheast is one of the great science-fiction films ofthe 1980s. The Film:This Argentine film freshens up an old cinematic device:juxtaposing science fiction and religion.
A Buenos Airesmental hospital is thrown into an uproar when amysterious male patient appears out of nowhere. As thepsychiatrists grill the stranger, he sticks to a storythat suggests that his origins are far from earthly. Infact, if his seemingly supernatural powers are anyproof, he may well be a space alien.
Unable tocomprehend the incomprehensible, the authorities decideto lock the visitor away from public view, maybe evenput an end to his life-and the analogies to Christ andChristianity are lost on no one.At their most profound, the wit and wisdom of the screenplay sound likeborrowings from a lesser J. Priestley play. The movie has the artylook of a book for the cocktail table. It's full of religious-typelighting, the sort that bathes silhouettes in golden halos. It alsocontains many fond, intense close-ups of the impassive face of HugoSoto, the actor who plays Rantes, in which any truism can be read atwill.Lorenzo Quinteros appears as the exhausted Julio, a doctor who trulyneeds a rest, and Ines Vernengo as a young woman who may or may not beRantes's sister or even another extra-terrestrial.
' Man FacingSoutheast' arrives in New York having received the InternationalCritics Award at the Toronto Festival of Festivals last September.Image: NOTE: The belowBlu-raycaptures were taken directly from theBlu-raydisc.The dual-layered Kino LorberBlu-rayof Man Facing Southeast looks very strongin 1080P.It has a max'ed out bitrate and the overall image is darkwith texture. It can look a shade saturated at times but Ihave no reason to believe that this is not a totallyaccurate representation of the film's theatrical appearance.Skin tones have some warmth, detail - as notable inclose-ups - is impressive and the HD transfer exports a veryfilm-like expression. The source is clean, and I noticed nonoise.
ThisBlu-raygave me a very watchable, and pleasurable, viewing in regards tothe picture quality.CLICK EACH BLU-RAYCAPTURE TO SEE ALL IMAGES IN FULL 1920X1080 RESOLUTION. Audio:K inoLorberuse aDTS-HD Master 2.0 channel track at1590 kbps (24-bit)in the original Spanish language.There are some effects in the film - but nothing very demonstrative. The reis some depth notable in the score by Pedro Aznar.It drifts around the narrative in a haunting, mysterious fashion. It soundsquite impacting in the lossless.The dialogue was mostly clear and there are optional English subtitles. M yhas identifiedit as being a region'A'-locked.Extras:The supplements include interviews with director Eliseo Subiela -running juts shy of 20-minutes, lead actor Hugo Soto for 21-minutes, andDoP Ricardo De Angelis for 25-minutes - all in Spanish with Englishsubtitles. They discuss various facets of the production from itsevolution, creativity etc.
There is also a 16-page liner notes bookletwith director's statement and essay by film historian Nancy J. Membrez.BOTTOM LINE:I had never seen Man Facing Southeast but knew of itsreputation as an exceptional film. It's very close to amasterpiece and I thoroughly enjoyed my viewing - even withhigh expectations. The film has introspective layers thatare rare in today's cinema and the science-fiction (alien)angle is appealing both literally and allegorically. The Kino LorberBlu-rayis another of their strong late 2016 packages - a brilliantfilm with worthwhile supplements - dual-layered.
NOTE: At the writing of this review it is 34% OFF at Amazon and we givethis a very high recommendation! See this film!Gary ToozeDecember 12th, 2016.
