Freely inspired by the works of George Lucas, was released in theaters and in free preview the 8 September at the Ariston in Sanremo, a version made in Italy of the universe of Star Wars.
Courage. It really takes to much courage and determination, as well as a good dose of love for the risk, to bring on the big screen a revisitation of a cult masterpiece as Star Wars. Angelo Licata has tried, venturing into a “creative experiment without any profit which wants to be a tribute to the genius of George Lucas”, an experiment that we succeeded and which can only be satisfied. If then is the same as Lucasarts, viewing the trailer, to define it ‘ ‘ amazing, amazing, then you can’t that they might be proud of a product that we dare to go to define a possible turning point in the film.
On the Republican ship master Kobegalon Sorran and his crew are traveling in search of a spaceship abandoned now by hundreds of years, the Reurrection. Sorran is willing to endanger the life of his kids while you get to the goal, where he believes he can find the origins of Eron and especially the secret to eternal life. The danger is around the corner and the members of the Kobegalon soon will face the dark side.
Delving into the science Star Wars is daunting, especially in Italy, where it appears that the scope of computer graphics is almost a taboo, animation and special effects that involve defying words distant worlds and inaccessible. Dark Resurrection is a happy discovery, in this sense. Licata in fact shows how you can manage to create a good science fiction movie with a low budget and without sophisticated equipment. The storyline, written by Licata in collaboration with Fabrizio Rizzolo, in fact is very simple and references to Star Wars are indeed many and quite obvious: Force, dark side, Jedi Master (the actor is also similar to Obi Wan Kenobi) are all elements of inspiration, the Lucasian Professor.
The real focus of the story is rather the mythology of Eron, with narrative concerning eternal life, and the possibility to obtain immortality by the elect (in homage to the Matrix trilogy that took, worthily, the witness ‘ digit ‘ science fiction of the 21st century), Sou Ra, and the latter by the master Sorran, who – blinded by the possibility of this discovery – will forget its crew and its protection. Cannot also be fighting with Lightsabers, enriched by engaging martial arts action, further evidence that if there is talent in film, the money is not everything. A special mention is due to purely graphic and ‘ animated ‘, edited with meticulous attention to detail and realistic and likely to yield an imaginary world that is very close to the real.
Dark Resurrection is certainly not Star Wars, but an air of family there. And it is something of what the production is able to create with this film: Angelo Licata may have opened the way towards a new range of possibilities for Italian cinema, especially independent.
It only remains to auguragli, to paraphrase the famous statement, “May the Force be with him” (that the force be with him).
