A review by deepkino
Written by deepkino on 2025-10-08
A bleak vision of a world after an unexplained collapse, this post-apocalyptic film is rendered in stark black and white and is nearly devoid of dialogue. It portrays humanity returned to a primitive state, where the concept of capitalism has been replaced by a raw, deadly struggle for resources. The survivors pit themselves against one another in a vicious fight where the only goal is to kill the other and take everything they have.
