Dustin O'Halloran - Spiritus Naturae Aeternus (1 0 0 1)

Dustin O’Halloran nos entrega en Spiritus Naturae Aeternus una composición que trasciende lo meramente sonoro para convertirse en una meditación sobre el vínculo entre la humanidad y la naturaleza. La pieza se desarrolla con una cadencia fúnebre y etérea, propia de un réquiem, en la que cada nota parece flotar en el tiempo, evocando la fragilidad de la existencia. La sencillez de su estructura, basada en armonías delicadas y una instrumentación minimalista, refuerza su carga emocional, generando un ambiente introspectivo y melancólico. La melodía, casi espectral, transmite la sensación de un lamento por la progresiva desconexión del ser humano con su entorno natural, un tema que O’Halloran aborda con una sensibilidad conmovedora.

El video, dirigido por Markus Englmair y protagonizado por la bailarina Fukiko Takase, amplifica el impacto de la composición al traducir sus matices musicales en movimiento y expresión visual. Rodado en Islandia, el contraste entre los paisajes naturales y los entornos urbanos desolados enfatiza la transición entre lo orgánico y lo artificial, una metáfora poderosa de la erosión del mundo natural frente al avance de la modernidad. La danza de Takase, fluida pero contenida, parece responder a los matices de la música, expresando un ciclo ineludible de crecimiento, renovación y decadencia. La cámara, con sus tomas largas e ininterrumpidas, preserva la autenticidad de la interpretación y permite que la coreografía respire en sincronía con la melodía.

Más allá de su impecable ejecución técnica, Spiritus Naturae Aeternus se erige como una obra de profunda resonancia filosófica y emocional. O’Halloran no solo crea una pieza evocadora, sino que nos enfrenta a nuestra propia relación con la naturaleza y a la sensación de pérdida que conlleva nuestra desconexión con ella.

these might be a bit too conventional, but high life directed by Claire denis and the lobster directed by Yorgos lanthmos, maybe the short film milk and blood by markus englmair. lost highway by David lynch? serial mom by john waters? F for fake by orson Welles, persona by infant Bergman, shiver of the vampires by jean Rollins. good luck!! (also just wanted to say I’ve seen the cool cat stuff recommended by another anon and I think they’re a waste of time— but maybe it’s what you’re looking for, who knows)

thank u for the recs!!! i’ll be honest i dont think i’ve seen any of these. haven’t checked out the cool cat movies yet so we’ll see if i like them.

i’ve loved david lynch’s work that i’ve seen & i just watched pink flamingos and am planning to watch more of john waters’ movies :) the lobster has also been on my list for forever! thank u so much!!
