Ariel loquitur

About This Movie

Ariel loquitur is a fascinating piece of experimental cinema. It intertwines footage shot over several years with a unique narrative structure inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, with segments flowing in and out, a bit like a visual poem. The recurring presence of this Prospero-like philosopher adds a layer of intrigue, making you ponder the nature of wisdom and illusion. It’s quite raw, especially with some of those ‘bad takes’ from Quasi una tangente adding an unexpected charm. The film’s use of practical effects is minimal but effective, which further enhances its distinct atmosphere. It’s a curious watch that’s as much about the journey as it is about the destination.

Ariel loquitur has a somewhat elusive availability, as it’s not widely distributed and often surfaces in collector circles. Those interested in experimental films or Shakespeare adaptations may find it particularly appealing. Its fragmented narrative and historical context make it a conversation starter among film aficionados, but copies are scarce, which adds to its intrigue in the collector's market.
