    Tuvalu

    Tuvalu

    Directed by Veit Helmer

    1999

    This is a very odd, very sweet, gem of a Movie. The production team are fans of cinema and this film plays homage to the entire map, all with very little dialogue. The entire script is composed of the names Anton, Gregor, and Eva, plus yeah, no, kind of grunt like, 'idiot', 'technology' 'system' 'profit' and 'modern', plus 'Imperial', as a noun. That's it, and it's all done with an Eastern European accent that adds a wonderful air of mystery.

    The soundtrack too is gorgeous, a mix also of eastern european music and enoesque atmospheric themes.

    There aren't really any major messages here, save perhaps that of the life crisis of finding one's mate at a slightly older age, under a communist style state.

    But if you wish, you might call this blog the 'Imperial Blog'....
