Not a great movie, but a good message of music found in nature - environmental and accidental sounds as a basis for electronic "trance"... But where was the trance?? The good trance? They dare splash "dragon fly" and "greent ant" without delivering the amazing music behind those labels. Who the hell was the music consultant?
Perhaps it was trying to represent the "rave" scene - you know, that chuppa-chupp sucking, glow stick waving scene that died out in the 1990s.... Straight "Trance" died along with it. Electronic music evolved, and psychedelic trance or "psy" completely moved in and pushed the cheesy trance out - gone forever, except for its disturbing loitering presence in gay nightclubs.
*Psytrance* would've suited the theme of sounds in nature a lot better, because psy is so much more earthy and analog than tech-trance. Oh well, they messed up. At least it looked good -- nice photography.
I wanted to watch and enjoy. I wanted to recognise and relate. "Trance-Zen-Dance"???... But where was the Zen?? The realism wasn't there. This dance "underworld" crowd was thinned out, no substance.
Clichés we've seen a million times, as structual support to whatever "risky" elements the writer gambles with. Character death by drug overdose clichés. Please!
This movie's story should have been developed or changed a lot before the attempt at making it. It was like a poorer episode of 'Secret Life of Us'. Someone will eventually capture the real trance party atmosphere faithfully on the big screen, but it hasn't happened yet.
