Hito

About This Movie

So, 'Hito' is this intriguing drama set in a bleak, dystopian landscape. Jani, our 14-year-old protagonist, navigates a world that feels cold and devoid of feeling, thanks to the nuclear reactors looming in the background and that heavy military presence. The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality, which really emphasizes the surreal aspects of her journey. And then there's Kiefer, the talking catfish—pretty unique choice, right? It adds this layer of whimsy amidst all the dark themes of oppression and the struggle for freedom. The practical effects used to bring Kiefer to life are interesting, though not overly flashy. It’s got a raw authenticity that might resonate with those who appreciate the more unconventional storytelling in film.
