Featured review
Gagga a provocative document of creativity
Viewing Gagga on DVD is a unique experience and one realizes the technological miracle done by Studio Seven and all those who worked together to get the film transfered digitally. Artisticaly the film has a lot of visual poetry and the camera-work is sometimes amazing when one thinks that it was done with a Super 8 camera. Mario Philip Azzopardi will be able to tell us more about the camera used in this shooting. The angles, the close-ups are sometimes poetic, especially the one shot at night where the main character Fredu is with his girlfriend in a car overlooking a stunning view, probably, at Dingli, in the North of Malta. The film has to be seen as a creative work not as an exercise of cheap so called entertainment as some commentators with the insight of a banana seemed to show in other comments. The storyline is dynamite with emotions, love, politics and social questions beautifully blended together. The final scene is the cherry on top of the cake where the films brings the audience back to reality telling us that all this is true and happening all the time in whatever individual and in whichever country. Maltese cinema practically gained a great leap forward with Gagga and all those who were involved in it. I highly recommend the double disc DVD version with English subtitles included and an illuminating behind-the-scenes group of feature for added value.
