About This Movie

So, 2073—it's a trip, honestly. Directed by Asif Kapadia, this film drags you into a grim future where New San Francisco is basically a tech-obsessed police state. The atmosphere is thick, oppressive, you know? It plays out like a dark, twisted homage to La Jetée, utilizing practical effects that ground the sci-fi elements in a gritty reality. The pacing has this relentless, almost suffocating rhythm that keeps you on edge. The performances are raw and resonate with the themes of lost freedom and surveillance. You really feel the weight of a society that’s forgotten what it means to be human. It's distinct in its approach for sure, blending the past’s artfulness with a stark, terrifying future. Quite the watch.
