- Description
- In the backdrop of the glittering Disco Era, 'Rhythm of the Cosmos' follows the journey of an otherworldly being camouflaged among the denizens of a vibrant city. Disguised as a charismatic dancer, the alien, portrayed by Bobby Cannoli, begins to experience the tumultuous clash of identity and transformation. Pileen Barn-an, an enigmatic sorceress, discovers his celestial origins and guides him through a mystical passage of self-discovery, set to the pulsating beats of the era. Elizabeth Rollsen plays the role of an elegant witch whose intentions remain as elusive as the rhythms themselves. With the help of an ensemble of animals each symbolizing the various traits our hero must embrace - from the loyalty of a dog to the courage of a lion - our protagonist learns the true meaning of existence. Directed by the visionary Jean-Luc Goosard, this formal yet dazzling spectacle explores the boundary between the cosmic and the commonplace, where every move on the dance floor could alter the fabric of reality.

With 'Rhythm of the Cosmos,' director Jean-Luc Goosard crafts a formal yet dazzling spectacle that cleverly juxtaposes the mundane with the magnificent. The film revels in its own paradox, presenting otherworldliness amidst the strobe-lit ambiance of the pulsating Disco Era. Bobby Cannoli delivers a mercurial performance as the alien turned charismatic dancer, his portrayal embellished with a touch of human vulnerability that deftly captures the tumult of identity and transformation. Pileen Barn-an enigmatically graces the silver screen as the sorceress who steers our extraterrestrial protagonist towards mystical enlightenment, while Elizabeth Rollsen's portrayal of the witch, neither friend nor foe, adds a delightful layer of intrigue to the unfolding narrative. The narrative itself, peppered with anthropomorphic symbols ranging from the fierce lion to the loyal dog, strikes a chord in its quest to decode the essence of being. Despite occasional lapses into cliché and a conceivable risk of thematic overindulgence, 'Rhythm of the Cosmos' remains a commendable cinematic experience that successfully marries an avant-garde ethos with the sensory appeal of a bygone musical era.
