| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
REPRISE is a film about friendship, madness and creativity,
about love and sorrow, great ambitions and the often unpleasant
clash between youthful presumptions and reality.
Erik and Phillip are both aspiring novelists, aiming to write
the great novel of their generation. Eric's novel is rejected,
but Phillip is published to great acclaim. However, Phillip
soon suffers a breakdown, triggered in part by his obsessive
relationship with his girlfriend, Kari. When Phillip returns
from six months in hospital he tries to win back Kari, whilst
Erik is still writing, with increased success.
The film follows Phillip, Eric and their friends using an
exciting filmic language that reflects the narrative culture
typical of a gang of twenty-three old boys. A film that is
as full of contrasts in its form as the lives of the characters
in it, Reprise can be seen as a subtle reflection on youth
as a time of promise, plans and hopes which gradually dissolve
under the impact of life experiences.
