The Show Has Already Started

About This Movie

The Show Has Already Started is a curious amalgamation of short films by Bertrand Mandico, steeped in a twilight zone of fantasy and surrealism. You get this mix of off-kilter storytelling and striking visuals that really pull you in. The segment 'Rainer' plays with the concept of identity while 'A Vicious Dog in Skull Valley' taps into darker themes with a twisted humor. 'Nous les barbares' has a haunting quality that lingers long after viewing. The practical effects are a standout here; they add this tactile nature that CGI just can't replicate. The pacing varies, sometimes slow, sometimes electric, really keeping you on your toes. It’s the kind of film that lingers in your mind, making you think about its layers long after the credits roll.
