Whit Monday

About This Movie

So, 'Whit Monday' is this odd blend of drama and sci-fi, really veering off into the surreal. Ivan Khristoforov, who’s got this bizarre knack for foreseeing explosions, is at the center. The way the film delves into his family history to make sense of his ability creates a layered narrative. You feel this tension building throughout, especially with the lurking threat from a secret public service that adds a kind of paranoia. The pacing is a bit unconventional—sometimes meandering, yet it gives you space to chew on the themes of fate and memory. The practical effects, while not flashy, serve the story well, grounding the sci-fi elements in a gritty reality. It's definitely a film that lingers in your mind.
