Scenes from other movies put together...
5 June 2020 | by a_petoussis – See all my reviews

This short movie is just a series of scenes from other movies. Most of them deal with global pandemics or their consequences on society, while some scenes from other well-known movies (e.g. The Shining, Jaws) are also used in-between, to add some interest. Not really a documentary...

I understand that this was created while the 2020 COVID-19 world quarantine was still in progress, but with no commentary or some introductory notes, this movie is of limited interest.
