South Of Hope Street (2024)


In 2038 a woman living in a dystopian society sees a disturbance in the sky.  She is a kind of misfit and doesn't fit into the increasingly fascist society.

Strange off kilter science fiction film is an odd duck. While I applaud the fact that the film is very much a one of a kind experience, I'm not certain the film actually works. My reservations is the film is very much trying to make a point from it's opening sequence pointing out that our heroine has different shoes to everyone else on to the final image of a flying car every word, action and shot means something.  I felt I was being lectured to instead of being told a story.

To be honest I don't know what I think about it. I admire that the film has a unique view but I'm not certain I like it.

Is the film worth seeing? If you want a film that is off the beaten trail, yes. It's a film that isn't like anything else out there. Beyond that you are on your own.
