Amnesia (2015 film)

Amnesia is a 2015 Swiss-French drama film directed by Barbet Schroeder. It has been selected to screen in the Special Screenings section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

Plot

Jo is a twenty-five-year-old music composer. He has come over from Berlin and wants to be part of the nascent electronic music revolution, ideally by getting a job first as a DJ in the new nightclub on the island, Amnesia. Martha has been living alone in her house facing the sea for forty years. One night Jo knocks on her door. Her solitude intrigues him. They become friends even as the mysteries around her accumulate: that cello in the corner she refuses to play, the German language she refuses to speak... Slowly, they enter into a relationship that will challenge and change both of them.

    "Amnesia" is an 8-page comic by Al Columbia. It was published in the twentieth issue (September/October 1997) of Zero Zero.

    Synopsis

    Columbia's recurring character Seymour Sunshine is shown standing in the middle of a street, looking uncertain and ill at ease. The omniscient narrator introduces him as a victim of amnesia, and comments on his plight as he wanders confusedly through a landscape strewn with entrails and the carcasses of bizarre creatures. Stepping into an unfamiliar house, he responds hesitantly to a knock at the door, which proves to be his companion Knishkebibble the Monkey-Boy. Though he does not recognize him, Seymour follows Knishkebibble on a long overland journey to a fog-shrouded city. They find it inhabited by untold numbers of identical, ghoulish men in suits with wrinkled, unsmiling faces. At first the men ignore Seymour and Knishkebibble, but when the city's clock tower strikes on the hour their collective facial expression changes to a malevolent grin and they begin to pursue the pair, who run away in fright.

    by: Re-flex

    We got the message
    I heard it on the airwaves
    The politicians
    Are now DJ's
    The broadcast was spreading
    Station to station
    Like an infection
    Across the nation
    Well you know you can't stop it
    When they start to play
    You gotta get out the way
    The politics of dancing
    The politics of ooo feeling good
    The politics of moving
    Is this message understood
    We're under the pressure
    Yes we're counting on you
    That what you say
    Is what you do
    It's in the papers
    It's on your t.v. news
    The application
    It's just a point of view
    Well you know you can't stop it
    When they start to play
    You gotta get out the way
    The politics of dancing
    The politics of ooo feeling good
    The politics of moving
    Is this message understood
    The politics of dancing
    The politics of ooo feeling good
    The politics of moving
