    Provocative and Terse Warning About The Future

    I've seen as many Diastéme movies as I possibly can; he's an integral part of why I love French auteurs. THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY poses many realistic scenarios in its abrupt 89 minutes runtime, as it delivers a swift kick about the darkness that hangs not only over France and Europe, but over the entire world..

    THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY is as great as anything Diastéme has written (cowriters include his friend Christophe Honoré). Diastéme is great behind the camera as well and it's a pleasure to watch something that was formed under his capable auteurship.

    Frightening enough, it hits without bruising. It is a movie which should be shown to everyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexuality, to illustrate many causes of the current bleak climate that hangs over the world.
