Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

daniel-charles2 Very few movies are as good as the book that inspired them. This one might be somewhat different from the idea I had from the book -the color whiter, the image flatter, but it remains a sort of cinematographic UFO which leaves a long lasting imprint of the memory -after all, this long-lasting imprint is what the film is all about. It looks like a low budget science fiction movie, while its the ultimate movie about love (like the book was the ultimate book about love). Haunting. A plus of the film is fascinating discourse of Morel, in surgical, clipped Italian sentences which make you rush to learn Italian. A unique film.

fredericroyer ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Has nobody seen this movie? I saw it on TV when I was a child, and since then I desperately try to find it on video. So, I bought the novel of Adolfo Bioy Casares, which led me to his universe and to his friend Jorge Luis Borges' books. In Morel's Invention, a castaway finds out that what he first thought was a desert island is full of people. Strangely, these people act and talk each day exactly how they acted and talked the day before. When the hero tries to talk to them, nobody pays attention. Nonetheless, he falls in love with a woman (though she doesn't pay attention to him neither). He finally discovers that these people are all dead and just part of a big "3D movie", captured by a "camera" invented by a scientist called Morel. The "movie" reruns again and again each and everyday, as the energy of the "projector" comes from the tide. As the hero can't escape from the island, he decides to incorporate himself in the movie, before committing suicide. So, he will be virtually alive with his loved one until the end of time...

tzillo As the president of the jury "La Giuria" i can say that this is one of the best movies ever done. The director Emidio Greco is a genius, and his image is reflected in the character of Morel, a man completely out of the system, a cool pragmatic inventor, i don't say more because who read this comment must see the film without knowing other details. Don't miss this movie, if you don't like usual diagrams, because it makes you reflect about all life's sides, and vanity of life. The director Emidio Greco from behind the camera gives us lessons about the life, we can't miss them...
