Jamie Lang Celebrated Spanish filmmaker María Trénor’s debut feature “Rock Bottom” will premiere in the main competition at this year’s Annecy Festival, and she has given Variety exclusive access to the film’s first trailer. Produced by leading Catalan producer Alba Sotorra, the film is inspired by the life and music of U.K. artist Robert Wyatt.
Trippy rotoscope animation interspersed with experimental segments tells a story set in the decadent 1970s in both New York and Mallorca. Wyatt’s album “Rock Bottom” scores a paradise-like beach story overflowing with art, flirtation, and recreational drugs. The film deftly weaves the fantasy experiences of Bob and his partner Alif in the two cities, creating a single time and place that could only exist in fiction.
Or on a really good trip. Variety recently caught up with Tenor to discuss her feature debut ahead of its Annecy world premiere. Variety: What was it about Robert Wyatt’s music that made animation the right medium for this story? María Trénor: For two reasons: one economic and one artistic.
The film is set in the early ’70s in Mallorca and New York, it would be very expensive in terms of budget to represent the spaces of that time in a live-action film. On the other hand, the film has many dreamlike scenes that represent the state of distorted reality that the characters experience when taking drugs and alcohol. Animation is the perfect medium since the only limit to representation is how far your imagination goes.
