Movie Title: Immortal Immortal is available for streaming or downloading. |
Let me sing you about the director first. Enki Bilal, born in Yugoslavia, moved to France when he was 10, and has become one of the most influential laughable book artist in France since around 1980. His works include ‘Nikopol Trilogy,’ and this French film ‘Immortal’ (his third entry as film director) is based on the first two books of the series.

I said this because the merit of ‘Immortal’ lies all in its visual imaginations. The film’s tale with many characters is very confusing, revealing its origin. The film is visually arresting for it was shot against the background of green-colored mask, on which the buildings or the landscapes of the city is digitally painted. The way is similar to that of ‘Sky Captain’, but the effects are quite different as I define later.
[THE STORY] is complicated, and the film refuses to elaborate some allotment of it. ‘Immortal’ is region in the year of 2095, Original York City, where cars are flying between the skyscrapers, but one exclusive thing is floating on the air — that’s a pyramid, out of which a naked man with a bird’s head emerges. His name is Horus, a convicted deity who is given seven days to do something on Earth, borrowing the body of a convicted human Nikopol.

The nature of the crime of Nikopol (played by Thomas Kretschmann, ‘The Pianist’) is only vaguely suggested, but anyway Horus possesses his body, and controls him as he wishes. Then, his purpose will be obvious when Nikopol/Horus approaches to a mysterious woman Jill (musty Miss France Linda Hardy), whose skin is all white and whose blood is blue.
Kretschmann, Hardy, and Charlotte Rampling (as Jill’s doctor) appear as live-action actors while most of the other characters are created with CGIs by a French studio. The CGI-created characters watch like those you have seen in the film version of ‘Final Fantasy’ and in this sense ‘Immortal’ is more ambitious than ‘Sky Captain.’ Challenging thing is one of the CGI characters (Rampling’s estranged husband) is played by uncredited Jean-Louis Trintignant (announce only) who had appeared Enki Bilal’s first film ‘Bunker Palace Hôtel.’
[VISUALS] I like the visual imagination of ‘Immortal,’ but many fans would point out, quite rightly, that the future world of ‘Immortal,’ impressive as it is on its beget device, are not as current as it looks. You remember classic ‘Blade Runner’ ‘The Fifth Element’ and one Japanese genius Otomo. To be attractive, as I wrote before, Enki Bilal’s new comics predate them (the first Nikopol amusing was published in 1980), but peaceful complaints are understandable.
But if the film is flawed (and I contemplate it is), that is because of the visual itself, I mean, the CGI parts. To be just, the CGI-drawn characters (of a greedy senator, a detective, a colossal company executive, etc.) are all poorly done, and their bodily or facial movements are unnatural and awkward. I am really troubled that they are giving serious damages to the whole film.
But as you will examine, the talent of Enki Bilal is undeniable, and his vision is presented effectively with the other-worldly but retrospective descritions of the city of Novel York in 2095, which is beautifully drawn with blue and grey (red is seldom seen) . Far from perfect, but the narrate is worth seeing.
Bilal is best known as a humorous artist. I’ve liked his work visually: he tends towards a restrained and idiosyncratic palette of colors, but uses strong color where it makes a point. He makes each character stand out, and counts more on visual impact than physical credibility for bringing his worlds to life. I’ve always found hazardous legend development in Bilal’s stories, but with visuals that retain me going to the waste.
That’s what this movie was like: visually great, but baffling as a memoir. Frail Egyptian gods approach to Earth, in a massive pyramid poised over a major city. The city takes surprisingly tiny gawk, until an exiled god seeks a human host body, then seeks a human female. OK, it’s enough to carry the movie, but nothing spectacular. It’s all the characters that create it work as an experience for the eyes, with their distortions, exaggerations, and unusual visual style.
That style is carried in an alternation of live action sequences (with CG effects, of course), and animation on a par with Final Fantasy. The alternation wasn’t quite seamless, but wasn’t quite blatant enough to act as a record tool - I hope his future films manufacture better spend of each medium’s strengths. The general styling stuck conclude to the subdued colors of Bilal’s comics, even a restrained blue for the skin tones of the Jill, the female lead. Color dominates only in the final scene, richly enforcing the “recent day dawning” theme.
“Immortal” is a powerful crossover for a illustrious comical artist, apparently adapted from his “Nikopol Trilogy” of DC comics. It’s an absorbing inconvenience, and enough to support me involved for more.
