GRAVITY

  • Alfonso Cuarón

Floating weightlessly in space - a vision of freedom or a horror scenario? Romanticized carefreeness or a bottomless, yawning abyss? When they are separated from their base station by passing space debris during a satellite repair and suddenly find themselves floating weightlessly in zero gravity, astronauts Ryan and Matt are put to the test, involuntarily.

Gravity by Alfonso Cuarón won seven categories at this year's Oscars, including directing, cinematography and visual effects. Rarely has 3D made more sense than in this film, in which the technical means and the story are at each other's service, even mutually dependent, and in which the spectacle is permeated by the philosophical, the profound thought creeps into the amazement of the show values. Rarely does the illusion of a three-dimensional space offer more sensual experience than here, where this space has no floor and the central existential experience of the character, the irritation and disorientation of her perception, is transferred directly and immediately to the audience.
