A
mysterious epidemic gradually makes humanity lose his senses.
This movie
is interesting because it moves against the flow.
Epidemics,
with their zombies ridden addenda, are seen as a way to show humanity
disgregation. It’s one of the appeal of the genre, nothing as heartwarming as
random madness on the streets.
This quirky
little movie instead decides to go in the opposite direction. What if we tried
to continue to exist as a society? What would happen?
Maybe it
goes a little too far with the voiceovers but it’s a real interesting and
unexplored concept.
Eva Green
and Ewan McGregor are a couple trough which misadventures we experience the
global epidemic. Their lives are a little bit too contrived, and here maybe
there’s the real flaw of the movie, but the two actor sell it all so effortlessly
and with such conviction that it’s really hard not to participate.
Maybe there’s
space for a romantic version of the usual epidemic horror genre, let’s hope so.
Conclusion:
recommended viewing, even if you don’t like it this movie will fuel enough post
vision discussions to last for a week.
