The sound of the future is imagined in 1971, dystopian and grey, apparently subterranean where sedated citizens in white fatigues work in a consumer's regime, policed by black-clad androids, overseen by mysterious monks in a white limbo. Unruly desire is suppressed by drugs, yet two workers, THX 1138 and LUH 3417, still manage to form an illicit attachment. This stylish film's rarely seen, but it occupies a particular place in Sci-Fi history as it's the first feature by Star Wars' director George Lucas, written with fellow University of Southern California film alumnus Walter Murch. We're looking at the film now, you can see it positioned between Orwell, Huxley, Kubrick's 2001 and Star Wars.Yet it isn't so much the look of the film as its sound that proves enduringly atmospheric. Murch took me on a tour of the film's soundscape.
This is not a film about the future, this is a film from the future, in the same sense that Japanese films which we loved are dealing with the culture where there are assumptions about the culture that are not explained because it's made for that culture. So we thought, well we'll do the same thing for the future. |
