Strong Central Maximum

Review of film "Splice" by Vincenzo Natali

.. the other night I rented the movie "splice" by Vincenzo Natali.
the plot at first sight seems to treat as many a science fiction story.
the search for a protein to heal the man with severe disease, two scientists who decide to go beyond the ethical limits and natural
creating a new species, cloning, the ambitions of creation.
the two scientists Clive and Elsa are life companions. and Elsa in "groped" Clive with the apple / project.
Adam and Eve but also recalls stories like Frankstein, The Fly. and many others.
but as flow time and the images we see something different.
the theme of genetics and science fiction become reality in a ploy to be able to tell
freely without censorship of the complicated and sometimes sick, parent-child relationship.
and with this view, the viewer does not enter only the most ethical problem to go beyond what is permitted but
be read even love, conflicts, fears, .. and the physical and psychological violence such as 'isolation, incest,
refusal, mutilation.
not neglect the good psychoanalytic theories about the relationship that creates a creature with "different"
while the relationship between parents and children.
when the "creature" called Dren, Elsa is just puppy love her like a daughter, protects, while Clive rejects
seeing only an abomination, an excess of creative madness, I'm wrong.
when Dren is Clive protects teenager, he is fascinated by sex, while Elsa comes into conflict with her. in antagonism.
the film has provided a low budget, but has lost none of quality.
the subject matter may not appeal. the narrative quality is still to be considered. Splice
a film like that without some reflection on the days following the vision is worth seeing.
