Renaissance 2054 - Opens March 15…in France

hmmm, looks good, wonder when this is coming to the UK ?

Probably quicker than it’s coming to the states. I’ve already decided that I’ll be buying the DVD import as soon as its available to me. I had to do this with Natural City, Immortel, Save the Green Planet, Casshern, One Point O, Wonderful Days, etc.

Those frenchs are good, sometimes…

Looks very good.

Holy–!!!! That look freakin’ AMAZING!!

Hi curt and Blacky, welcome to cyberpunkreview

Which, now being March 15th, brings us to the question - I see French folk here in the user statistics. I’m SURE someone has seen Renaissance 2054. Is it any good? Anyone?

I was going to start a thread on the forum about this one, but my confirmation apparently isn’t arriving anytime soon, so…

THE GENE GENERATION

http://imdb.com/title/tt0438052/

From director Pearry Reginald Teo (the brilliant short films LIBERATA ME and CHILDREN OF THE ARCANA) and starring Bai Ling (THREE…EXTREMES). Supposedly set for release this May, it now looks as though we’ll be waiting a little longer before we get to have a look at it…

Wow, hadn’t heard of this. I do LOVE Bai Ling though - she’s just smokin in Goth get-ups.

[…] I’ve recently been communicating with Séverine, a public relations person for Renassance 2054, and have found out that Renaissance 2054 will be released in the US this summer! Miramax holds the US distribution rights to Renaissance 2054, and should be coming out with the pre-hype ad campaign in the very near future. […]

I am about to go to see it tonite, but according to imdb voter the scenerio is said to be weak…

Anyone can confirm ?

Hi RzR, did you ever see it? I’d love a review of it.

Hi everyone,

I am French, I have seen ” RENAISSANCE” and it is very impressive !

If you have any questions ? I am here.

Hi FAAB, thanks!
Yes - LOTS of questions. Describe the animation - is it fluid, choppy, etc.

What’s the Cinematography like? Do they do a variety of different camera angles and shots, or is there a preferred approach?

The closest I see to Renaissance in terms of atmosphere would be Sin City - if you’ve seen Sin City, how would you compare the “look” of the two, understanding of course that Renaissance is animated?

And the story - what’s this similar to?

And the sound track - what’s it sound like?

Finally on a 10 point star rating scale, what would you grade Renaissance?

I think if you take apart a movie too much you lose sight of it as a experience.

i thought this movie was great…

I consider myself one of the chosen. I picked up Renaissance on DVD and watched it no less than 20 minutes after the purchase, twice in a row (one for plot, second just to take in the breathtaking animation).

A few days later, i went to my parents and showed my dad (who’s only remark after seeing it was “the best cyberpunk film ive seen in a while, no… the best film ive seen in a while”).

That night i came home, only to be greeted by a rather excitable girlfriend waving a cinema ticket in my face. Renaisa… £2.50 8:30pm

I couldn’t believe it, my local cinema was doing a one off showing of the film - the ONLY cinema in the south of the UK to get a showing!!! I went to the cinema, watched the film for the forth time in three days and yes - it was still extraordinary.

As a cyberpunk film fan, with Blade Runner as my all time favourite film, I have to say Renaissance is spectacular. The plot, like any good cyberpunk / detective / noir story, takes a while to get going. This isn’t a bother, as you spend the first 30 minutes of the film just taking in the outstanding look and style of this film. Following a pretty amazing action scene (spoiler avoided, but you’ll know what im talking about) the plot picks up speed and before you know what hit you, you’re knee deep in classic cyberpunk corruption, mystery and thrills.

By the time the credits roll, you’ll be smiling like a kid on christmas day with his new Wii… I challenge any respectable cyberpunk fan to not find anything in this film he or she didn’t like… be it the futuristic vision of Paris, the gripping plot, the severely watchable characters or even the ‘cool’ security system at Avalon (just wait).

Even the redlight district is given a technological jump!

All in all, a remarkable film. Using your system, I give it 5/5!
