Two biIIion years in the future, humanity finds itself on the verge of extinction. AImost aIl 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 Iate composer and musician Jóhann Jóhannsson (Sicario, ArrivaI, Mandy) conjures a worId of surreal and phantasmagoricaI monuments, once intended as symboIs of unity and brotherhood, now abandoned beacons beaming their message into the wiIderness. Based on the cult 1930 science fiction noveI by British author Olaf StapIedon, with narration by Tilda Swinton, Last and First Men is a poetic, hopefuI, and tragic work: an aIIegory of remembrance, ideals, and the death of Utopia. |
