Overview
Taking as its departure point the 1993 opening of the Channel Tunnel, Là Bas is a playful burlesque on cultural difference, eccentricity and passion. Using different locations, Kötting knits together an imaginary tunnel, with tickets sold like a seaside attraction, through which one walks between England and France (the interior shots of the tunnel are of the Greenwich foot tunnel), and which is subject to random and sudden closure like many other British forms of transport.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is rated 0 (Neutral/Centrist) because its central focus is on a personal, observational journey exploring a father-daughter relationship and the experience of disability within a natural and artistic context, without promoting specific political ideologies or societal critiques.
This documentary follows a personal journey, featuring the filmmaker and individuals encountered organically, without explicit DEI-driven casting. The narrative centers on the filmmaker's experiences and inspirations, and does not critique traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its storytelling.
Secondary
The film uses Christian iconography and themes as a backdrop for exploring spiritual decay and the allure of the occult. It portrays a world where traditional faith is either corrupted or insufficient, leading characters to darker, inverted spiritual paths. The narrative does not affirm Christian virtues but rather highlights its shadow aspects and vulnerability.
Based on the available information, the film 'Là-bas (Down There)' does not appear to feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, an evaluation of its portrayal of queer identity is not applicable, resulting in an N/A rating.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Là-bas (Down There)" is an adaptation of Joris-Karl Huysmans' novel. The main characters, including Durtal, are portrayed by actors matching their established gender in the source material. There are no instances of characters canonically or historically established as one gender being depicted as a different gender in the film.
Là-bas (Down There) is an original film by Andrew Kotting, not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established characters or a biopic of historical figures. Therefore, the concept of a character being portrayed as a different race than their canonically, historically, or widely established race does not apply.
