A deluge of digital detritus, a frame-by-frame visual assault on the pleasure dome in our skulls. All set to appropriate music made by means of appropriation: chopped, screwed and then thrown in the blender. Digital Devil Saga is an opus of post-Covid life where heavy screen mediation has been completely normalised. But the film is also an act of preservation, embalming each ephemeral image, each frame, in preservation-grade 35mm ESTAR-base filmstock.
