[quote]Milian stars as a man named Bernardo. He has just lost his wife days earlier and is trying the best way he knows how to cope while maintaining his duties as a father and a diligent businessman. This becomes more and more difficult when his son constantly disappears only to claim he was spending time with his mother. As things turn out, this is no mere attempt on the part of a distraught child to come to terms with death; it is, in fact, the truth! With time, the bodies of the newly deceased resurrect more and more frequently around the area and Bernardo finds himself in the middle of something much greater than he ever imagined! Besides finding an inner strength he never knew was within, could Bernardo also once again find love? And if that’s what is to be, can this new kind of love survive? Distant Lights is very clearly rooted in the science fiction genre though it is an atmospheric and mysterious film that takes its time to get where it is going. Milian is to be commended for his work here. Although he usually creates a ‘character’ (and he does that very well), here he has created a man, and a very believable one at that! Many rewards are in store for the patient; this Italian movie is both capably written and directed! [/quote]

More rarito than underground or experimental, I post it here anyway so as not to be
accused of forgetting about my beloved DXC forum... I hope some of you may have
some interest in it

Strange and moody movie which mixes anything from Zeder and Invasion of the Body Snatchers
to My Stepmother is an Alien and amazingly not only gets away with it but it's actually pretty good

Well, I liked it, but it's little more than a curiosity, don't expect a great movie, just a melanchonic take on some classical themes of italian B-cinema
It just annoyed me that this one was so difficult to get, while a lot of other really abysimal italian B-movies get all the attention, so I tried to get a copy of it...
