Under the God

About This Movie

Under the God is this intriguing mosaic of short segments from fifteen emerging directors, all under the guidance of Tarr. The film takes you on a journey through Locarno, revealing its city streets and natural landscapes in a way that's both fresh and contemplative. Each piece feels distinct, yet they share a kind of meditative quality that pulls you into the atmosphere. There’s a real emphasis on the textures of the environment—cable cars, the quiet of Val Bavona valleys, and the charm of Corippo. It has a rhythm that's almost hypnotic, with a blend of practical effects that give it an organic feel. It's less about a single narrative and more about experiencing the essence of place through varied cinematic lenses.

Under the God has seen limited releases, contributing to its scarcity among collectors. The film's focus on emerging talent offers a unique exploration of cinematic storytelling, making it an interesting piece for those who appreciate regional filmmaking and collaborative efforts. Its varied formats across festivals and limited physical releases add to its collector allure, appealing to those who seek out films that capture a sense of place and artistic experimentation.
