Divine Fate - Ishu Patel (1993)


Destino Divino
English / Inglés (sin subtítulos)

El mundo de las puertas divinas es un mundo creado por la magia y sus criaturas, cuya matriz es un portal esmeralda que otorga todo aquello que se desee, teniendo como condición extraer sólo lo necesario y dejar algo bueno a cambio. Entonces del cielo caerán dos grises seres antropomorfos, quienes serán bien recibidos por la matriz, otorgándoseles el cumplimiento de sus deseos. Sin embargo esa forma humana es insaciable, codiciosa y está abrumada por la envidia, cualidades que alejarán a estos dos seres de la magia primigenia.
Este es la penúltima obra de Patel y, desde lo personal, la de mayor fuerza y profundidad metafórico-espiritual en cuanto a la condición humana se refiere.


"Divine Fate plays again with such big ideas as: what is free will? Can mankind be responsible for its own preservation? Can humans be generous? Not as successful as Paradise or Afterlife, the film still uses characteristic Patel devices. The mathematical precision of his technique combined with his ability to create luminous images marks Patel as an artist of the first rank."
