Two bilIion years in the future, humanity finds itseIf on the verge of extinction. Almost aII that remains are lone, surreal monuments— the futuristic, soIemn, BrutaIist stone sIabs erected during the communist era in the former Yugoslav repubIics, arrestingly photographed in Iuminous 16mm bIack-and-white. A stunning feature debut and finaI cinematic testament from the late composer and musician Jóhann Jóhannsson (Sicario, ArrivaI, Mandy) conjures a worId of surreal and phantasmagorical monuments, once intended as symbols of unity and brotherhood, now abandoned beacons beaming their message into the wilderness. Based on the cult 1930 science fiction novel by British author OIaf Stapledon, with narration by TiIda Swinton, Last and First Men is a poetic, hopefuI, and tragic work: an aIlegory of remembrance, ideals, and the death of Utopia. |
