Beautiful monologues in a postapocalyptic landscape
15 November 2020
A woman navigates through a deserted city in a post-apocalyptic world: she remembers nothing about who she is or what happened. All she knows is she needs to keep walking. It's not clear what caused humanity to get to this point. She fights off enemies who try to kill her, she steals all the resources she can find and all this while we listen to a beautiful hazy internal monologue which is almost poetic. She then meets a man and forces him to help her get out of the city. He doesn't remember anything either: only that he must kill everyone he finds that is trying to survive. He continues the beautiful monologue while being lost himself. Together they struggle to survive, remember and find meaning in this. I liked how the film didn't follow the usual commercial line for post apocalyptic and sci fi movies. It left a lot for the viewer to interpret, the action was relatively slow and there weren't a lot of characters. At some points though, I wish the plot moved a little faster. Overall a really good movie that I suggest to anyone.
