Milian stars as a man named Bernardo. He has just lost his wife days earlier and is trying the best way he knows how to cope while maintaining his duties as a father and a diligent businessman. This becomes more and more difficult when his son constantly disappears only to claim he was spending time with his mother. As things turn out, this is no mere attempt on the part of a distraught child to come to terms with death; it is, in fact, the truth! With time, the bodies of the newly deceased resurrect more and more frequently around the area and Bernardo finds himself in the middle of something much greater than he ever imagined! Besides finding an inner strength he never knew was within, could Bernardo also once again find love? And if that’s what is to be, can this new kind of love survive? Distant Lights is very clearly rooted in the science fiction genre though it is an atmospheric and mysterious film that takes its time to get where it is going. Milian is to be commended for his work here. Although he usually creates a ‘character’ (and he does that very well), here he has created a man, and a very believable one at that! Many rewards are in store for the patient; this Italian movie is both capably written and directed! Enjoy Distant Lights totally uncut (Some prints are reported to run less than 90 minutes while Digital Conquest's very rare version reaches a full 102 minutes!) and in widescreen!
