Description
[Machine Translation] The Spirits of the Air" is the legendary 1988 debut film by Alex Proyas, director of "Crow: The Legend of Flight" ('94), "I, Robot" ('04), and "King of Egypt" ('16), which depicts a unique worldview with stunning visual beauty. Filmed in Broken Hill, Australia, the same location where "Staggered Foot in the Wilderness" ('71) and "Mad Max 2" ('81) and "Priscilla" ('94) were shot, "Spirits of the Air" features only three characters. The film fantastically depicts a story of despair and hope, dreams and reality, centered on a man with a longing to fly, and its worldview is reminiscent of Sergio Leone, Andrei Tarkovsky, Terry Gilliam, and others. The art and costumes evoke a desolate near-future, and the music evokes a sense of longing and melancholy, leaving an indescribable aftertaste. The film was nominated for Best Art Direction and Best Costumes at the Australian Academy Awards that year, and won the Special Jury Prize at the first Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival. It has since become a "lost film" that has been difficult to see for many years. This masterpiece of fantasy, which leaves a deep impression on the mind, has finally been digitally remastered by the director himself and is now being released on disc for the first time after a long-awaited revival. --In the endless wilderness, Felix, a crippled man, lives in a small house. He is obsessed with the dream of flying in his homemade airplane and dreams of one day escaping from this place. His paranoid sister Betty, on the other hand, lives surrounded by crosses, faithfully following her father's will that she should never leave this place. One day, a fugitive named Smith appears in their lives...
