"Lost
in New York" happened by chance when director Rollin had the
possibility to visit New York with only 2 actresses coming along. The
rather spontaneously shot footage he brought home to France was extended
by shots on the pebble beach familiar to all Rollin fans.
The film thus
completed to a length of almost an hour tells us about two young girls
who imagine they might be grown up and see New York, later to meet again
with their memories as old women, returning to their days of youth. The
circular traveling across space and time is done with a magical device,
a round wooden thing called Moon Goddess, also impersonated by a
dancer, an actress you may remember from "Emmanuelle 6".
What makes
"Lost in New York" so fascinating is that it is a very open, personal
movie, unlike "The Living Dead Girl" for example which needed to satisfy
certain expectations of the particular audience it was aimed at. "Lost
in New York" is a dream movie, adding up Rollin's artistic visions more
freely than other works of his, so that I would actually count it among
his five best films. You can let yourself go in the flow of images which
are rarely interrupted by dialogs.
In opposite to a movie like
"Koyaanisqatsi" though, "Lost in New York" does not hit you with a
message. Instead you create a viewpoint for yourself: is it magic or
just their imagination, which is present or past, which is reality?
Obviously, even my summary above contains a good deal of interpretation
already. Certainly not a movie for everybody, but if you like to be
challenged a bit, try an interpretation of "Lost in New York" in your
own way.
