This is an utterly haunting horror science fiction film that will have you awestruck at its grim beauty while it makes you talk to the screen.
The film follows a couple who meet just before a new disease begins to spread. The disease makes people bond to inanimate objects. When the girl leaves her home to be with her new love everything is okay for a while...and then it isn't.
This film shouldn't work. There are plot lapses, things are left hanging, but in the best sort of dream logic it all comes together. Somehow, someway director Thibault Emin pulls it together in someway and the result is one of the most haunting films of 2024.
Emin doesn't ape previous body horror films and instead essentially reinvents it as a think of lyric beauty. The images, of everything are so amazingly beautiful that you can't look away. Indeed they are such that you kind of want to press into the screen so that you can walk around and see the wonders he has created.
I am not going to say much more because the power of the film is not knowing so that it clubs you from behind.
One of the most amazing cinematic experiences of the year, it is a must see.
