Writer/Director/Star Sujewa Ekanayake comes out with a sequel to his quirky "The Secret Society for Slow Romance" with "Cosmic Disco Detective Rene." The film follows a Detective getting in touch with beings capable of time travel by listening to Disco music. Through his incredible detective skills, Rene is able to communicate with the time-traveling beings and bring a sense of peace to the planet. "Cosmic Disco Detective Rene" is a fun conversation on the things that interest its director more than telling a dramatic story. It's a lighthearted, slow cinema commentary on the state of cinema and love for independent film.
Nothing is meant to be taken seriously, and the firm's dry style allows the viewer to relax among its many long takes between scenes. It's not meant to entice the viewer with high production value, more than it is designed to present a sense of calm. The film stars Rene, played by Ekanayake, who seems content with himself and the universe that he connects to.
Let's see if we connect. My conversation with Sujewa starts right here!
