Trivia
The movie was shot by an Italian crew in Italian and Lambert (who speaks only French and English in real life and who spoke all of his lines in these languages) was dubbed by an Italian actor. This is the movie's original Italian audio track. The movie was then dubbed fully in English (Lambert dubbed himself for this version, so the English audio track has his voice) for foreign markets. This is the movie's English dubbed audio track.

Quotes
Maria: Don't you like making love with me?
Solo: Well, yeah, of course, Maria; but, I mean: just be two electro-magnetic equations humping each other: don't mean to be distressing, but the procedure's in your head, but not, your sensations. It was Jimi who fed them in.
Maria: Mm; mmm; ok: So, who's this person, Jimi?
Solo: He's the guy that thought us up.
Maria: Oh.

Crazy credits
The last credit states as unintentional every reference to "person, things and trademarks".

Alternate versions
During 1997, shortly after it was released in Italy, Miramax's Dimension label dubbed Nirvana into English, in order to give it more mainstream appeal for the American market.

Extremely moody, perfect atmosphere & soundtrack

Alright, as I can see, we have very mixed reviews on this one. I personally really liked this sci-fi flick. What's so cool about it? No, no, it's not thought-provoking like eXistenZ of David Cronenberg and then again YES forget about Matrix - Nirvana is magical in a way a Hollywood film will never be. Almost surreal, Nirvana presents the future world in a most atmospheric way, and quite realistically manages to capture the decadent atmosphere of a future cyberpunk world.

What's no realistic at all, and oversimplifying is the whole plot and stuff. But who cares? Characters manage to be quite interesting, the music builds an awesome atmosphere. As you see, I don't try to intellectualise any of it: i like it for what it is, a small euro sci-fi that, at least to me, delivered the goods!

A recommendation... especially if you like Gibson-like, cyber-punk literature. BUT DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH
