Review of Voices of a Distant Star (2002) by Joseph S — 25 Jun 2008
Fantastic short film, all made by one man on a mac. Voices Of A Distant Star is the story of a future intergalactic war, and young couples seperated by minutes, months, and eventually years communicating via texts, in one of the most entertaining movies about long distance relationships Ive ever seen (the first one with space fights anyway).
The direction alternates between simple objects and images caught in daytime shadows, and grandiouse sweeping shots of ultra violet skys and vast alien landscapes and space. Likewise the plot alternates between introspective voice overs about longing and the passage of time, wonder at the magnitude and beauty at the pyshical world, and anime style space battles with giant mech soldiers, aliens who resemble T1000esque Crustaceans, and Space Vessels which look like swans.
Emotionally and visually moving anime, about growing up and growing apart.
