"Memories of Another" portrays the tragic story of Zach and Mia's 'once-was' relationship.
Following the mysterious death of his lover (Mia), Zach now finds himself in the hands of Blair, a government investigator & scientist who has pioneered a life changing machine (Pandora) that supposedly enables justice to reach the fairest verdict of all by replaying the dramatic events prior to a suspected crime. These events are re-lived through the suspect's mind, and thus, inevitably, his memories.
The thought-provoking ethical elements in this film all lie within the prejudice of a crime, and its suspect. Raising questions such as - "Is it fair to enter the mind and privacy of a suspect, with the scope of reaching a fair verdict?" "In the absence of evidence, can we truly rely on memory as the sole mean to justice?" But most of all... "Can we trust judicial representatives, to not abuse their power?" - The answer lies within human nature, and its dark side.
Wonderfully depicting the pain of heart-breaking memories through a melancholic Neo-surrealist 'dream-like' tone, it is clear that Blaho is not only a visionary, but also an uprising filmmaker that deals with contemporary real-life issues.
On top of the plot line, the film is beautifully paired with an outstanding original score and sound design.
All of the above - but on a well-handled yet clearly restrictive micro-budget.
The performances in the film are effective however not rammed down the audiences throats, much like the film as a whole there is a subtle nature to each performance
I know for certain we will be seeing more of the director in the future and personally I cannot wait to see what he conjures up next.
Victor Blaho's obscure visions are wonderfully futuristic and dreamlike. The way he looks at the obsession of reliving memories is really clever. It's something people envisage all the time but to see memories played so intricately is interesting.
Particularly liked the actors playing Mia and Blair. Mia's confusion, realisation and questioning of what's going on is poignant and moving. Blair seems so disturbed and torn by her dilemma, moving from powerful to lost to disturbed.
A truly fantastic film.
The London premiere presented the perfect "surroundings" for the film. The "well hidden" Whirled Cinema at Loughborough Junction, the obscure lighting, the relatively small but cosy and intimate hall gathered people from various parts of the world to witness the moving scenes created by Victor's imagination, performed under the powerful rhythms written by Assen and Monica!
A true cocktail of emotions and promise!
A must see!!!
