As its title suggests THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE is an awe -inspiring, meticulous cinematic rendering of the aesthetic and conceptual inventions of proto-science fiction genius Jules Verne, based on one of the famed author's lesser known short stories. However, the real star of the film is the intricate art direction, successfully rendering the visual style of nineteenth century woodcuts and engravings into motion pictures, creating a stylized and surreal graphic world within which Verne’s fanciful tale unfolds. A brilliant scientist, Dr. Roche, perches high above a stormy sea, inventing a powerful explosive, when he and his assistant are kidnapped by an evil businessman, Artigas. Taken by submarine to Artigas' volcano headquarters, Roche is tricked into developing his experiment for evil intentions. The scientist’s assistant, Simon, struggles all the while to free himself and warn Roche. A magical world of baroque submarines and sailing ships, killer octopus, undersea bicycles dazzles audiences as human actors, puppetry, animation and fanciful scenic design interact to create a cinematic experience that is unique by any standards. Mixing slapstick comedy, action adventure pacing and Mélies style film magic, this little known Czechoslovakian gem transcends the juvenile literature at its source to create cinematic art of the highest order....

 1 ) FIFF24丨DAY9《毀滅的發(fā)明》：美，但美得很收斂，不絢爛

第24屆法羅島電影節(jié)第9個放映日為大家?guī)頍o人知曉單元的《毀滅的發(fā)明》，下面請看場刊影評人們毀譽參半的評價了！

@仔龍

奇觀令人目不暇接，二維平面的漫畫化背景有一種看擴展舞臺劇的感覺，關(guān)于海洋的神奇世界總是讓我想起《海底兩萬里》的故事。感覺這一毀滅的發(fā)明像是對核武器的暗喻，也促使人重新思考科技進步是否真的是好事。

@OUTIS

58里最愛的一部，雖然劇情并不上乘，但是想象力無敵，真人和紙板畫結(jié)合的奇觀太對我胃口了，視聽語言極其具有個性，

@Spy Liu

情節(jié)很簡單，技術(shù)上做得很厲害。

@子夜無人

視覺呈現(xiàn)上和后來的《吹牛伯爵歷險記》很像，原來之前某個友鄰說這類型電影很多誠不欺我。美，但美得很收斂，不絢爛。

@像音片碎

捷克籍VFX祖師，夢寐以求的科幻雜志電影。

@Sally Bowles

黑白版畫的風(fēng)格對機械、建筑、海底萬物的表現(xiàn)非常kinky，最后那個機關(guān)槍實在是笑死我了。除開表現(xiàn)手法，故事本身不太吸引我，這么多年過去了科學(xué)家們?nèi)匀幻媾R著沒錢搞研究的困境，而我們甚至不再像那個時代一樣對科學(xué)充滿了信心。

@非有想非無想

是場輕喜劇，有借鑒海底兩萬里的劇情，動畫和真人結(jié)合的完美，技術(shù)成熟！

@西紅柿雞蛋糖

分不清是手繪的實幕景還是特效。黑白線條風(fēng)格的加持下，使得畫面添了一份寫實素描感。獨具創(chuàng)新勢必為人類造福的科學(xué)家最終成了戰(zhàn)爭家武器的提供者。

#FIFF24#第9日的場刊將于稍后釋出，請大家拭目以待了。
