''Down to Earth'' ((ポルトガル語:Casa de Lava)) is a 1995 Portuguese drama film directed by Pedro Costa. The film is set in Cape Verde Islands, a former Portuguese colony. The drama is characterized by its reduced narrative, and photographies of the volcano in the Cape Verde islands. The title literally means "a house of lava". The film has been described as Costa's remake of Jacques Tourneur's 1943 film, ''I Walked with a Zombie''. Costa's work has often been compared to modern updates to classical Hollywood auteurs, with Jonathan Rosenbaum pointing out that ''Colossal Youth'' may be viewed as Costa's remake of John Ford's 1960 film ''Sergeant Rutledge''. ''Casa de Lava'' was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at 1994 Cannes Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: Down to Earth )〕 ==Plot== The film tells a story of Mariana, a nurse who leaves Lisbon to accompany an immigrant worker in a comatose sleep on his trip home to Cape Verde. The devoted Portuguese nurse took a journey only to find herself lost in abstract drama. There she finds that "she brought a living man among the dead." 〔(Quoted from the distributor's official synopsis )〕 Costa made the film in a densely minimalist style. Cryptic ellipses, cinematographic precision, narrative abstraction and lingering imagery of people and place, notably Mount Fogo, the highest active volcano of Cape Verde, are features in this melancholic meditation on love and loneliness. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Down to Earth (1995 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
