𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘸? 𝘖𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯? Poetic dystopia masterfully refined from Godard's 𝘈𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 and Kubrick's 2001 to present future as abstraction. Extractions in image, moving or still, to echo eternity as soulless, empty, monotone, and gone. We are not far from this. Or at least the kids aren't. And the sad thing is that they don't even know the world they're born into. *so many scenes to dissect with tons of rewatchability. too many scenes to breakdown, but a favorite: the all-white eternity with cuts that don't match to abstract space and time. displacement of character. tension between the known and unknown. poetic. tense. brutally aware of future. restless in drive towards image after image in finding a way out. masterfully crafted.
