Review

 

Until The End of the World is an odyssey for the modern age. As with Homer's Odyssey, the purpose of the journey is to restore sight -- a spiritual reconciliation between an obsessed father and a deserted son. Dr. Farber, in trying to find a cure for his wife's blindness, has created a device that allows the user to send images directly to the brain, enabling the blind to see.

The creation and operation of such a machine is in stark contrast to a deteriorating global situation, where the continued existence
of mankind is under threat from a nuclear powered satellite that is falling toward earth.


Until The End of the World is a tale of love and hope -- a metaphor for the journey we must all take toward our future... the ultimate road movie.

Features a stunning soundtrack from the likes of U2, Peter Gabriel, Bian Eno, Talking Heads, REM and Neneh Cherry.

I loved this film when it came out and a few years back bought the Directors Cut on DVD that was available in Italy from Ripley's Home Video FINO ALLA FINE DEL MONDO. I was delighted to see that a new version claiming to be digitally remastered had comeout and bought it. The transfer to DVD is truly awful and not a patch on the Italian version. If you really like this film get the directors cut you won't be disappointed.
