Decasia

Inspiring and infinitely suggestive, this haunting tapestry of long lost, partially erased images - a procession of missionary nuns, the rescue of a man from drowning, a boxer relentlessly targeting his mysteriously obliterated opponent - testifies not only to the fragile nature of film but to the transience of all human endeavour. Set to an eerie symphonic score by Michael Gordon which has been likened to the sound of a plane crashing in slow motion, Decasia reminds us, as Morrison himself puts it, of 'the many dreams we forget upon waking'.
This film came out on DVD a while ago, and I recommend it for any fans of old cinematic footage. There are some phenomenal sequences in this film. The music is haunting and creepy and really fits the mood of the footage. Check it out!
