"Everything in the film is knocked slightly off-kilter - with everyday things being ever so slightly amended to be something slightly unsettling, from fat cigarettes and slow reactions to buttons that press too deeply."
"Crab Man was inspired by a chess master I was dating at the time, who tried to show me the moon through a giant telescope one night, but wouldnât let me have a proper look."
The film 'Hotel Kalura' weaves a tapestry of curiosity and unease, exploring the lives of intriguing characters within an unsettling yet familiar world. At its core, Sophie reflects on an encounter in Sicily, where she projects a narrative onto an older woman she observes. The film favors question-driven storytelling, drawing comparisons to Werner Herzog's style. Characters like Crab Man add a Lynchian touch, emphasizing their oddity through real-life inspirations, while Sophie acknowledges this project as the conclusion of her journey in 2D filmmaking, marking a significant transition in her artistic career.
