During this year’s Festival Internationnal du Film Fantastique de G\u00e9rardmer<\/em> I had the opportunity to talk in some length with Vincenzo Natali<\/a>, director of films such as Cube<\/em>, Cypher<\/em>, and most recently Splice<\/em> (my different texts about that film are collected here<\/a>, in German).<\/p>\n

It was a very interesting conversation, ranging from nerd culture to posthumanist thoughts – Natali seems to think that genetic modification really is the next logical step in (human) evolution, and his film is as much a warning of its dangers as it is, actually, a celebration of its possibilities.<\/p>\n

Before you listen to the interview, be well aware that it is uncut and unedited (you can read the edited and translated German version here at Telepolis<\/em><\/a>) – it does contain some minor spoilers and at least one major one that gives away part of the ending<\/strong>.<\/p>\n[audio:interview_natali.mp3]\n

(Oh yeah, and sorry about the poor quality of the recording.)<\/p>\n

(Natali also talked to, among many others, Daily Greencine<\/em><\/a> where they made the clever choice to end their interview with an outro of „Weird Al“ Yankovic’s „I Think I’m a Clone Now<\/a>„. Gotta love that!)<\/p>\n
