Germany released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), German ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Commentary, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: In a future medieval world, after the collapse of our civilization, man has repeated all the same mistakes again, and installed a new system of law based on false science and superstitious beliefs. Worst of all their deviances now, is anyone who dares to consume or even touch the sweet-tasting 'Chisa' flower. Once caught, they are permanently banished from the village, and made to live a life of solitude and poverty. Most prone to this deviance are children - known by elders as 'vessels for evil' - since their natural curiosity makes them prey to temptation. Yet these rejected children, left to their own devices, free and as wild as the wind, are discovering the true power of this plant and its teachings. Its sap contain what most adult fear: a vision of the truth. They have learned so much that some villagers even accuse these children of witchcraft. ...Rejected ( Rechazados ) Review: Brilliant! Sensuous! - A visual feast in film exposing the effects of fear, ignorance, and scapegoating on vulnerable peoples. And easily led by charismatic populous leaders! (Of course the children often ultimately pay the heaviest price). Though in this film, in the end, justice is summarily exacted and there is a real chance for beginning again.. Review: Not for the surface level minded folks. - Although desertcart does show that I received this movie yet, it was received in a timely manner. Apparently there’s a miscommunication between the vendor and desertcart or Royal Mail and desertcart. About the movie, Someone told me about this movie and equated it to how the older generations view cannabis today. A bit of a stretch, for sure. But the movie does reflect how older generations Sometimes misinterpret religion to mean something that it doesn’t and the toll that it takes on their kids is often tragic. It’s a very strange movie. Not for kids under 15 years old.

Distopia o probabile realtà futura? Comunque un capolavoro
In un futuro imprecisato, il mondo civilizzato è stato spazzato via e la nuova umanità vive in piccoli villaggi rurali, dove una primitiva neo-religione e la superstizione la fanno da padroni. Questa religione mette in guardia contro le insidie costanti del diavolo e impone ogni sorta di divieto, incluso il desiderio di conoscenza. Uno di questi divieti è mangiare o entrare in contatto con quello che si crede essere il fiore del diavolo, la "chiza". In realtà si tratta di un fiore dolcissimo con effetti allucinogeni che però aprono la mente alla conoscenza: forse per questo è vietato mangiarlo? Chi viola questa legge morale viene bandito dal villaggio ed esiliato sulla montagna con gli altri peccatori. In realtà questi peccatori sono tutti ragazzi e bambini, perché la loro innata curiosità li ha portati a fare l'opposto di ciò che era proibito. Ogni anno i bambini della montagna devono fornire agli abitanti del villaggio una ragazza che ha avuto le mestruazioni (a fini riproduttivi) e un ragazzo che sia in grado di sollevare un certo peso (come operaio per i campi). Ma quando i bambini della montagna si rifiutano di adempiere a questo patto barbaro, le cose prendono una pessima svolta: uno di loro viene brutalmente ucciso e appeso nudo a un albero nel centro del villaggio. Alcuni abitanti del villaggio obiettano di aver esagerato nel comportarsi in quel modo e vengono uccisi anche loro come peccatori. I bambini, per vendetta, con un rito magico, bloccano i rifornimenti idrici del villaggio e ciò porta alla morte di tutti gli abitanti. Anche se può sembrare distopico, in realtà è un film fortemente allegorico, connon pochi simbolismi, che, a mia opinione, credo voglia metterci in guardia sul pericolo di elevare a dogmi il conformismo e il pensiero unico. Dunque, la nuova religione superstiziosa del film non è altro che il conformismo che ci vuole consumatori ignoranti di tutto ciò che ci vogliono vendere o concedere. Il fiore di chiza ha molte somiglianze con il frutto biblico del peccato che, se mangiato, avrebbe portato alla conoscenza. E, si sa, la conoscenza è pericolosa per il mondo globalizzato e consumista di oggi. E l'esilio (il 'rejected' del titolo) di chi ha osato mangiare il fiore non è altro che il tentativo odierno di controllare il pensiero attraverso il bando di chi non si conforma al pensiero unico. In definitiva, si tratta di un autentico capolavoro per persone libere e abituate a pensare con la propria testa. Gli altri, probabilmente, lo troveranno un film stupido e insensato. Problemi loro!

Rejected take revenge
Another amazing film by the Master Director who is Ivan Noel A group of villagers who live by deeply religious laws and anyone breaking those laws is sent packing to the mountains A Law that seems to effect children more the main problem is a wild red flower seen as symbol of the Devil and spells trouble for anyone who possesses it When one child is sent packing for having just that he finds himself among other children who were also punished But when the order is sent to bring 2 children back 1 boy 1 girl as a sacrifice this causes the twist For when the body of a beaten to death captured boy is brought back The village priest sees it's his own son and realizes things have gone to far much to the anger of the villagers who turn on him when they blame him for the water drying up as he went to beg forgiveness from the children Soon the villagers head to the mountains to confront the children planning to kill them and get the water running down to the village again But in a clever twist the children are ready

Wieder stimmt alles im neunten Noel-Naturfilm
Wenn die religiöse Indoktrination so weit entartet, dass Eltern ihre eigenen Kinder verstoßen und wie bei "Hänsel und Gretel" ihrem Schicksal überlassen, dann ist Mittelalter. Dann schließen sich aber auch die Verstoßenen zu einer Gruppe zusammen und lernen, mit der Natur, nicht gegen die Natur zu leben. Nachdem der achte Noel-Naturfilm "Nine Meals From Chaos" an Härte nichts zu wünschen übrig ließ, schaltet der neunte einen Gang zurück und bietet wieder mehr fürs Herz, obwohl er erneut in einem zivilisationsfernen Milieu spielt. Er ist aber nicht die Fortsetzung des achten Films, die man nach dem Schluss von "Nine Meals" hätte erwarten können. Inzwischen gibt es genügend Werke aus der antiautoritären, unverkennbaren Iván-Noel-Serie "Kinderfilme, für die Ihre Kinder noch nicht reif sind", um sich schon eine Noel-Woche machen und jeden Abend ein anderes Kunstwerk des Multitalents ins Programm nehmen zu können. Ich würde mir auch eine CD mit Noels besten Musikpassagen kaufen, wenn es eine gäbe. Die beseelten, inspirierten Klänge, z.B. aus der Szene, in der sich ein Junge nach Verzehr der Chisablume dem Genuss des Nacktbadens unter freiem Himmel hingibt, oder aus der Szene, in der einer aus der Kindergruppe erkennt, dass man sich mit Hilfe der Chisablume auch clever die verblendeten Erwachsenen vom Leibe halten kann, lassen darauf schließen, dass Iván Noel beim Komponieren auch unter dem Einfluss dieser Blume der Erkenntnis stand.
