“Into Eternity” (2009) – Review #18

Can be seen January 6th in Denmark! More info on DOX:BIO.

“Into Eternity” is like no other documentary you have ever seen. It’s a film that questions how we see the world and offers a peak into the far, far future. If “2001″ were a documentary, this would be it.

When I saw the trailer and read the description of “Into Eternity” in the CPH:DOX 2009 program it didn’t interest me at all. In fact, I only saw the film because the one I actually wanted to see got cancelled – and boy am I glad it did! I like high production value in documentaries and this one has probably the highest I have ever seen. There was a Q&A with Michael Madsen, the modest and soft-spoken director, after the first screening. He described how the team had painstakingly considered every aspect of the style they were aiming for. The result is a truly cinematic experience; sound, music, cinematography and content work together beautifully.

The film is already receiving high praise in the Danish press and I’m sure it will find a long life as a cult film.
