I'm not a big sci-fi fan, but I love concept-led films.
The opening is simply a fascinating commentary on how we experience sound. It's simply mesmeric. What then proceeds is a plot that gradually coalesces around one woman's obsession with finding the 'prinzhorn frequency' - or the frequency of the human mind.
If this sounds quite dark, there is light relief, for example, in her part in a talented, but ultimately ill-judged techno band which forms part of her quest. All of the comedy is done well, though I wondered how much of it was necessary. What was fascinating, to me at least, was the concept itself, and this woman's obsession with it. I would love to see this as a full, if pared down, feature.
Truly outstanding, cast, writing, directing - and ultimately storytelling.
