Considering I’m not the biggest fan of sci-fi, this is one of the more interesting films I’ve seen in the genre. It’s a tad bit too slow, and it did take me two turns to finish it, but its themes and hypotheses for the future are really fascinating and food for thought.
My favourite aspect of the film is maybe its conception of a post-racial world, cultural heritage and what it means to grow up in a family composed of people of a different race than yours. It’s not the film’s most futuristic theme, but its approach and “solution” to it, is. Otherwise, the themes of human (dis)connection, relationship with tech, and the humanising of tech are all very interesting and super pertinent.
Kogonada’s directing is marvellous and intentional. I especially liked the way he cinematically translates the process of “remembering”. Beautiful and poignant visuals throughout with a minimalistic score that compliments them perfectly.
