Entre l'Atlantide de Platon et celle d'une série TV américaine, Ben Russell compose un portrait psychédélique de l'île perdue. Si le bonheur était une dimension déjà essentielle de son dernier opus, ici c’est peut-être la transe qui déclenche la beauté magnétique du film.

Happiness was already a key dimension of his previous work. Here, perhaps is trance – one of his prime research areas – produced by the magnetic beauty of the film?
