The multi-award-winning dance film Amelia (2002) explores the use of point
technique using extended intertwining solos, complex partnering sequences and
extreme speed to generate powerful performances with unexpected moments of
tender emotion and serenity. Lock uses intricate choreography for both camera
and dancers, creating amazing and constantly shifting points of view. The
original score, written by David Lang for violin, cello, piano and voice,
combines evocative minimalism with lyrics from five of Lou Reed's most famous
works, created in the 60s for The Velvet Underground.Press Reviews "Amelia is
nothing but dance, brilliantly shot, relentlessly in your face, astonishingly
fast. The lesson of Amelia...is to dance this hard, this fast, this gloriously
while you still can." (Los Angeles Times) "Dazzling and frenetic." (Le
Figaro)Cast Alexandre Castongua (Cello) Simon Claude (Violin) Njo Kong Kie
