Fonotune: An Electric Fairytale

Fonotune is a gently moving exotic still life set in a road movie, which is always refreshingly out of the ordinary. Worth seeing are the lovable characters, the minimalistic but detailed production design and the time and formally boundless aesthetics of the created pictures. For long stretches the film resembles a series of partly surrealistic works, which give the viewer enough time to lean back and look around. Long, uncut scenes. There are wondrous things to see, weird, provocative, things to smile about, but also wild decor. This applies not only to the pictures, but also to the soundtrack, which gives the dystopian mood a successful frame. A lot of creative art, a lot of heart but also a lot of room for interpretation.

We were lucky enough to watch a preview screening of Fonotune - An Electric Fairytale the debut feature film from German director #FINT, and we can't recommend it enough! 📽🎨💥

'Fonotune' is an ethereal cyberpunk dreamscape, a rock n roll half remembered hangover. Art-house cinema meets 3-day-amphetamine-haze-comedown. The film features a slew of amazing actors and special appearances from legendary Japanese rockers Guitar Wolf and Electric Eel Shock.

See it if you get the chance!

Sorry for bad english, I am Spanish and have seen this movie at Sitges Film Festival. I did not know about the movie and watched it because I liked the poster. After the cinema I did not like it. But I could not stop thinking about it and the film got better every day since cinema. This is not a movie for everybody. It is very slow and quiet. But I think it can be cult movie. The feeling and the ideas and people in the movie are like cool underground comic. I want to watch it again. Very stylish but also cute at the same time. Warm and cold.

Watched at Insólito Film Festival in Lima, Perú

"A feature film that brings together Japanese Cinema, Graphic Design, Comics & Music! Featuring Guitar Wolf and Kazushi Watanabe!" Fonotune - Kickstarter

Ok starting with that premise this movie was almost taylor made for me, sure it was slow but I was never bored, every single shot is astonishing in its minimalism, the graphic design in every single text and logo is top notch and the soundtrack is KILLER. I want to cosplay as the characters so bad, especially the Radio Dj for FNTN.

This has all the heart in it for becoming a new cult classic and if it doesn't I'm gonna start working on it.

I recently had the opportunity to view Fonotune at the Cinetopia Film Festival in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the film's American premiere. Before it began, a message from the director played, who suggested for us to "let the movie wash over you". Though I didn't initially understand what this meant, the director's intent became clear as the showing began. With minimal dialogue or obvious plot, the movie was propelled by interesting characters and environments, a stellar soundtrack, and cinematography that was often completely breathtaking. It was like watching a painting, an experience truly unlike any other film I have ever watched. The world building was monumental, and even more impressive due to how minimalistically everything was shown. The world was left vague, but in a way that piqued my interest. I have been thinking about the film's environment since I left the theater last night. Also, the soundtrack was one of the best that I have heard. Everything just looked and sounded really cool. I have not had an experience like Fonotune before in theaters, and I would definitely recommend that anyone who is able to should check it out.
