Perpetual Motion in the Land of Milk and Honey AL + AL's
Grandfather is a retired engineer and inventor who has been on a life
time quest to create perpetual motion and supply free power for the people.
During a telephone call with the Lamb of God, Britney Spears sabotages
this lifelong endeavour to break the law of physics and sets in motion
her own drive for infinity. The conflict produces a series of alchemical
events which have only one consequence, a land flowing with milk and honey. Critics views on Perpetual Motion in the Land of Milk and Honey: "a disturbing, evocative exploration of science, God and energy" The Observer "if Tarkovsky made pop promos, they'd feel like AL + AL's very accomplished live-action sci-fi piece" Time Out "looks
and sounds glorious, with a cast including the Lamb Of God and Britney
Spears" The Guardian |
