By Day or By Night (2009)Sci-Fi; Mexico
Mexico - the next hotbed for sci-fi filmmaking. Mark my words, folks. "De Día O De Noche" ("By Day or By Night") is an upcoming film from first time director Alejandro Molina. Society has been genetically engineered so that half the population lives by day and the other half by night in order to deal with overcrowding. The government keeps a tight leash on the population, who are expected to keep their emotions in check, avoid all physical contact and only live in their appointed shift. In other words, everything's gone to shit, but of course, the only reason to depict a society that's gone to shit in a movie is if you're going to have someone come along and rebel against it. Enter Aurora. She falls in love with some doctor that lives the night shift...and then there's some other older dude who also wants to live in both shifts...and then there's this little kid, I don't know what the hell her deal is, but she's important to the story somehow...
Obviously, not a whole lot of info has come out about this movie since Dangerous Days previewed it back in February via our column on Airlock Alpha, so we can't say too solidly what the story is about, but finally we've got a trailer! And a long one too! Looks like it's shaping up to be a slow, somber artistic meditation on a society that suppresses itself almost completely for the sake of order. Looks interesting, check it out!
