Here and the Great Elsewhere
Description
Lost in a reverie, a man reels with sudden, piercing awareness of his own
state of being. He ponders the world in which he lives—from the evolution of
life and the atomic particles that constitute matter, to the mystery of memory
and the enigma of death. Bounded by a walled enclosure, he is both unique and
no different than anyone else who has searched in vain for the key to the
great beyond. Through four tableaux that explore her character’s thoughts,
filmmaker Michèle Lemieux takes a mischievous look at the profound reflections
of this everyman, whose questions are part of humanity’s eternal quest for
meaning.
An abstract yet compelling philosophical tale, Here and the
Great Elsewhere turns the
Alexeïeff-Parker pinscreen into a metaphor for the particles that make up the
universe.
