Οι Απόντες
Είδος: Ταινία
Γλώσσα: Ελληνικά
Υπότιτλοι: -
Χρονολογία: 1996 , GR
Σκηνοθεσία: Νίκος Γραμματικός
Διάρκεια: 115'Η ταινία παρακολουθεί τις σποραδικές συνευρέσεις έξι ανθρώπων στη διάρκεια μιας επταετίας που συμπίπτει με τα κρίσιμα χρόνια της κοινωνικής τους ένταξης, καταγράφοντας τις σποραδικές συναντήσεις τους στο νησί της καταγωγής τους, το σκηνικό του κοινού τους παρελθόντος. Κάθε φορά που "επιστρέφουν" στο νησί, κουβαλάνε -αναπόφευκτα- τα ίχνη των προσωπικών επιλογών τους, αλλά και της σύγχρονης ελληνικής πραγματικότητας, μιας πραγματικότητας, που -αργά, αλλά σταθερά- τους αλλάζει, τους διαβρώνει, χαλαρώνοντας τους δεσμούς τους, με αποτέλεσμα τη σταδιακή απώλεια της επικοινωνίας ανάμεσά τους. Το τέλος της εποχής των συλλογικών πραμάτων θα τους βρει σκορπισμένους, αντιμέτωπους με την αυγή μιας εποχής στην οποία κυριαρχούν οι ατομικές λύσεις και επιδιώξεις.

Lucky People Center is a Swedish artistic collective, most well known for their electronic music, which falls roughly in the Ambient house/Trance genres, and the movie Lucky People Center International.
There is a hope for the world after all.
Author: Nicklas Johansson from Umeå, sweden
Lucky People Center International takes us on a journey around the world, navigating by means of people's inner life. The use of music and rhythm and the pulsating form of the film are reminiscent of the aesthetic tools of music videos, and provide a fresh approach to documentary filming.The film team spent two years travelling the world looking for people and ways of living reflecting the world as it approaches the year 2000. The people we meet open different doors to belief and life-affirming vigour, and embody different stances in a world characterised by unrelenting change. Dreams, a sense of quest and critical thinking are seen to be matters of concern for all life on earth. We encounter voodoo powers, the investigative methods of a brain research scientist, Buddhism's view of death, a former porn actress and her thoughts on pleasure, a banker and his ecstatic needs, and much more, all held together by musical rhythms and the song of the gibbon.

Outspoken genius disguised as a comedian., 5 April 2004
Author: Dan Keene (dankeene549@yahoo.com) from Spokane, WA
"Revelations" was my first Bill Hicks experience but unfortunately, one of his last performances. After viewing this video, Bill Hicks immediately became my favorite stand-up comedian. Probably because I share most of his views which were brilliantly expresses with his brutally hilarious humor. At times he gets a feverish intensity beyond typical humor and really makes you think about what he says whether you like it or not. What he said was more that just comedy club material, it had a meaning behind it. Maybe that's why, since his untimely death (cancer), he has been referenced and quoted by such people as the band Tool (on their 1996 "Aenima" album) and Author David Icke (in quite a few of his books). Half way through I started to wonder if this guy had any faith in humanity, but by the end his sincere closing remarks just might restore YOUR OWN faith in humanity.

No Dissonance,
The acting is top notch. I believe that monologue acting is quite a bit simpler than real reactive ensemble acting. Most of what we see today is monologues pretending to be conversations. But in this film, we have utter mastery of throwing emotions. Once the air becomes filled with human essence, it is hard to not get soaked ourselves as the camera moves through the thick atmosphere. Yes, there are slight differences in how each actor projects (Fonda internally, Balsam completely on his skin...) but the ensemble presents one vision to the audience.
The writing is snappy too. You can tell it was worked and worked and worried, going through several generations. It is easy to be mesmerized by this writing and acting, and miss the rare accomplishment of the camera-work. This camera is so fluid, you forget you are in one room. It moves from being a human observer, to being omniscient, to being a target. It is smart enough to seldom center on the element of most importance, so expands the field to all men.
This is very hard. Very hard, to make the camera human. So much easier to do what we see today -- acknowledge the machinery and jigger with it. Do we have a filmmaker today who could do this?
Ted's Evaluation -- 4 of 3: Every cineliterate person should experience this.

This film deserves to be on anyone's list of top films. My problem is that it is so perfect, so seamlessly polished, it is hard to appreciate the individual excellences.The acting is top notch.
