Details:
“The Appearance of Things” is an intricate ensemble drama set in contemporary
Los Angeles revolving around an avant-garde production of Oscar Wilde’s Salome
where women exclusively play all of the central roles.
The director of the production casted an appropriately gorgeous starlet, Madeline
Chereau, to play Salome, even though to date she has shown very limited acting
ability in a handful of slasher films. His choice for Salome has angered his long
time girlfriend to whom he gave the least attractive role, Herodias. To play Herod,
the director hired his cousin whose husband is funding the production. Coincidentally, the husband also directed one of the slasher movie in which Madeline played.
One day, Madeline allows her boyfriend to discover that she is being unfaithful. This
is the first in a serie of rash and willful actions which set off a chain of events
resembling the action of Salome, and soon the relationship between all of those
involved in the production begins to mirror the ancient themes and conflicts of the original
play.
TESTIMONIALS
"...This is great writing! Great composer! No question about it!..."
- Christopher Young, composer (Spiderman 3, Ghost Rider, The Grudge 1 & 2, Runaway Jury, The Core, Shipping News, Hellraiser, Entrapment, Jennifer 8,...)
"...In explaining its decision, the Jury observed that,"In the movie God''s Waiting List, the music is employed with an exceptional subtlety, so that it is not only used as an ornament, but plays an intrinsic and major role in the movie. Vincent Gillioz showed a great flexibility to adapt his skill to the demand of the images. Audacious and skillful, he ventured down different stylistic paths and showed himself capable of covering a broad musical range. Gillioz''s music is as much flexible as touching. It is an excellent painting of the environment, without artifice, true and modern in its musicality. In brief, his artwork demonstrates great inspiration and extraordinary creativity." The jury also praised the exceptional professionalism of his composition..."
- The Jury of the SUISA Prize, 58th Locarno International Film Music Festival
