I’m sorry Lfo fans, you’re going to be sorely disappointed if you turn on Antonio Tublen’s similarly titled movie expecting to hear about everyone’s favorite one-hit-wonder boy band (Chinese food makes me sick too!). Instead, Tublen’s Lfo is more an artistic exhibition than Hollywood journey, being the cinematic equivalent to Wes Bentley’s bag-obsessed character from American Beauty. There’s an admirable quality about Tublen’s aggressively eccentric story, which blends science and magical hypnotism, yet this same strive for obscurity also ends up being an over-bloated deterrent. What starts as a provocative existentialist look into a puppeteering society unravels in a hazy fog of European synth-pop, sexual desires and apocalyptic overtones, like a mad scientist’s experiment gone horribly awry.

When all of their gear is stolen, they immediately turn on each other. But the hunted...

In the new thinking man's sci-fi feature Lfo, writer/director Antonio Tublen crafts the tale of Robert (Patrik Karlson), a homebody and "private enthusiast" who spends most of his time avoiding his fatigued, critical wife Clara (Ahnna Rasch) and developing peculiar audio experiments in his basement.

What follows is not only an exercise in how to breathe new life into the Mad Scientist story, but also a smart, funny head trip so solidly crafted that it easily ranks among the best of [Continued ...]...
