Movie ReviewsBest "rave" documentary I have seen. troy sheets | san francisco, ca United States | 05/08/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Certainly, this is not the first documentary about the rave scene.
"Better Living Through Circuitry", released several years ago, used a similar approach of party footage, interviews and music to try to convey what the underground dance scene is all about.For any director, a documentary of this type is a difficult task. Looking from the outside in, raving appears little more than kids dancing around a record player. Many partiers rightly argue that raving is something that has to be experienced to be understood. Interviews can go a long ways in explaining the underground dance scene, but alone they do not convey the magic, the vibe that has drawn youth from around the world into this culture.Although it is a global culture, it is Synergy's focus on the California scene, specifically the Moontribe desert parties in Southern California, that sets it apart from the other productions that attempt a more world-wide approach. It is these small tribes in specific geographic areas that make the scene so unique. It is the people making the parties themselves, creating their own scene out of nothing, that makes this scene so positive and friendly. By focusing on the people,music, DJs and promoters of a specific geographical scene, the essence of raving is more thoroughly understood.Synergy is shot almost entirely on 16mm film, giving the outdoor scenes a beautiful cinematic quality that is completely absent in other documentaries of this type. Clearly, there are magic moments captured. People cheering on the first rays of the desert sunrise after dancing through the night, the dramatic live performance on the steps of the Los Angeles federal building, the dancers spontaneously forming the circle as the last song of the morning is played. It's these moments when the viewer can actually feel the vibe, and experience why this underground dance phenomenon has become so popular." |
