When an overzealous scientist pushes his experiments with string theory too far – his brane explodes. That’s ‘brane’ not ‘brain’ – but that means someone has to sort out the mess he has created.
Our hero Corey Harlan is sent in – kicking and screaming – to find the heart of the brane and its creator Anton Chambers. Now manifested as a normal townhouse hosted by the enigmatic and multi-dimensional Aclima – his adventure begins. A house where opening a door from one room to another can lead you to other worlds, not just the kitchen.
Echoing the fate of our protagonists, the very fabric of the film – the sets – and even the cameras used to make the film are deconstructed throughout.
Bulk is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller in the tradition of Quatermass, Alphaville and Primer, but also a love letter to film writing and making. The movie reflects its director’s obsession with the magic of visual effects, from early cinema pioneer Georges Méliès to the stop-motion creatures created by Ray Harryhausen.
Followed by a live Q&A with Ben Wheatley.
