Mort

About This Movie

Mort is a curious piece of science fiction that transports you to this desolate planet where the creature Mort leads a monotonous existence. The atmosphere is heavy with isolation; you really feel the weight of the barren landscape. Pacing is slow but deliberate, mirroring Mort's own routine until that spaceship drops in, completely upending his world. The practical effects are charmingly gritty—there's a handcrafted quality that adds to the film’s unique vibe. The performance of Mort, while minimal in dialogue, conveys a lot through expressive movements and subtle reactions. It’s a film that plays with themes of solitude, intrusion, and perhaps the absurdity of life, making it a distinctive entry in the genre.
