brettjohanssonvik This movie has the potentials to polarize the audience like few before. Obviously there are people who like it and people who don't like it but the challenge in 'Sign Gene' is that it goes to the extremes by exciting it with a continue presentation of unfamiliar topics such as deaf history, culture while speaking in languages unknown to most people and introduces a psychedelic narration into mainstream culture leaving behind those who cannot follow it so negative responses based on ignorance might come out.It's hard to describe how good this movie is but it really is that good. I thoroughly enjoyed this film very much. One of the very few films that shows the real spirit of the very low budget indie cinema, only $25k, and sticks closely to the deaf cores' values behind and on the screen. As a film lover, I regard 'Sign Gene' as one of my favorites.
jmartinezexp Never seen a film with more than three signed languages, American Sign Language, Japanese Sign Language, Italian Sign Language and three spoken languages, English, Japanese and Italian, all well combined to each other. Definitely a real challenge for the creators of the film yet they made it. All actors were authentic with their own language unlike many other films. We enjoyed watching the film, definitely inspiring for new ideas, amazing work! Joseph.
robertomaurifa The film explores important concepts of communication. The vintage clips reflect an accumulation of filters that hinder the passage of information from the sender to the recipient and vice versa. The accelerated pace of editing indicates the rapid rhythm of the brain's executive function during the cross-linguistic communicative interaction. Symbolic messages are well expressed in the film! Congrats!
paolobonetti Never seen such a nasty movie! It lasts 70 min and I resisted to the end for curiosity. There are too many moving and incomprehensible scenes like disco music videos. Only music videos last an average of 5 minutes and there is but the film lasts for 70 minutes and is tiring to die! It has a headache, in fact a couple of people have had headaches. Some scenes remind me of Matrix above all the final part. Discounted plot and nothing new. The only beautiful thing is the history of the lis (the language of the Italian signs). They missed the chance. Sin!
