Lovecraft - Je suis d'ailleurs (the Outsider)

[oliviertomb]

J'adore l'histoire, et ce p'tit film est vraiment pas mal ! Ca m'inspire beaucoup vu que je dois faire une "couverture" sur une nouvelle et j'ai choisie celle-là, merci beaucoup.

As an experimental interpretation of "The Outside" the first half of this is brilliant and effective. It lost its effectiveness for me near the end, but the beginning, with the view from ye narrator's point of view of climbing the castle wall and the opening of the trap door was superb. There are many interpretations of the story, different people see different things in it -- for me that's part of its allure.

of course

[Arlekin1980]

good! :)

[Dunkelsreiter]

Excellent ! Très psyché, j'adore, tout à fait dans l'esprit du Maître !

[ossobrusai]

pas mal du tout !!

As huge fan of the short story, I fail to see how this video is even related. The first thing it does is make the viewer aware that the main character is a monster. That was the twist at the end of the story! Beyond that, it's just some dark, disturbing sound and imagery.

[xagcx]

It's more than that. Call it a reinterpretation or re-vision if you want. It's an auditory and visual textural experience from the main character's perspective. Original art in other words derived from the Lovecraft work.

[indigonegative]

I stand by my prior comment. The Lovecraft work was a superbly crafted narrative. Perhaps I miss some things since I can't read French, but I this is a non-narrative audiovisual piece. So, first, it's hard to compare with the original because it's a totally different genre. Second, it's as you said "derived" from the original. Like any sequel, it's unfair to compare the two because the later work could not exist without the original.

[ZKoftherebellion]

what do you mean at the end? They hinted that he wasn't human at the beginning. with the whole lack of mirrors and thus assuming that he looked, which seems like an odd thing to mention if he WAS, in fact, a normal person.

[ZKoftherebellion]

and btw, when exactly did it "make the viewer aware that the main character was a monster"?

[EldritchAnimation]

I have yet to read The Outsider, but the imagery certainly feels like Lovecraft and the music is great.

[Arang]

Awesome video. You obviously did a good job. Surely it's sort of surreal, but I guess that's what makes it interesting, and that sound fits the video excellently.

[boomfist]

I've been a Lovecraft fan(atic) for years. I love this video. It conveys what should not be conveyed ;) It's great. Cheers

[toboz]

thanks boomfist ! ^^

I have read "The Outsider" and i like this Video, but it is a little bit to Abstract.

[ACABihrHuren]

ah bon...

[ExhumedDJ]

si cette vidéo étaient un chat, je le baiserais!

[toboz]

Hmmm? ça veut dire quoi exactement ???

[StlCardnalz]

La musique était crap.

[toboz]

crap?

[twotma]

confusing

[toboz]

yes, little abstract

[simpleBetter]

nice soundtrack

[Wintherr]

nice work you guys... are there more lovecraft-inspired short movies coming? would be cool, keep it up!

[gwardeath]

pas mal du tout, très intéressant, musique puissante

[onidog]

Super! (sauf la fin-pour moi-le graphisme est trop différent du restec du film)

[sacredm00n]

boring

[toboz]

maybe, but it's a lot of work

[Archronis]

I thought that the sudden inclusion of color, and then zooming in on the sky-scraper was a bit sudden and gave a slightly cartooney feel.

However, for the most part this is a very creative and evocative work. Very nicely done!

[Natashasmessages]

merde. merde, merde, merde.

[AlexDraco]

Commence donc par lire la nouvelle originale, avant de dire que c'est de la merde... Au contraire, il y'a du travail dans ce petit film.

[Darkaeonss]

Bien ! bien ! bon travail !

[colmanjames]

Magnifique!

[agnaremus]

tres space, mais je suis fan!!!!

Felicitations!!!

[PawnOfChaos]

nice and creepy, both the visuals and the music.

[davidfragale]

impressive

[Cosmoline]

Great work! One of my favorite stories, even if it was from his Poe period.

[xagcx]

Delightful

I love the song, what is it?
