7/10
Very interesting film, but not for everyone
2 January 2024
Starting with the cinematographic part: very competent direction, the actors are very good, all of them, and the soundtrack has everything to do with the film's proposal, it's strange, futuristic and melancholic, it fits perfectly. The editing is also good, as is the script, and the narrative is a little slow at times, something I particularly like, but a lot of people don't like it and will find it a little tiring.

Still on cinematography, there are only two details that I didn't find perfect: the first concerns the filters and colors, which I felt was missing a little variation that would illustrate in a more melancholic way the moments of coldness of the domineering capitalist aliens and in a more colorful way the moments of art and humanity, the visual language of the film is all very similar and that bothered me a little. The second thing concerns the special effects, the aliens are very well done, impeccable, but the part about the ships and other transport in flight or movement I found very fake, they didn't maintain the good level and left something to be desired.

Leaving the cinematographic part and entering the conceptual proposal of the film, I have nothing but praise. It's a harsh, merciless and spectacular criticism of capitalism as an oppressive and segregating element, an ode to art and the expressions of human nature and feelings, and an acidic social satire on racism, self-interested behavior of human beings, pettiness in property and selfishness of material goods and the rotten emptiness of reality shows and video channels that transform some of the most precious human and personal values such as love, relationships and family into futile public market objects.

I rate it 7 out of 10 for the work as a whole, as it's slightly tiring and leaves a little to be desired in terms of effects and filters, but due to the important human and socioeconomic themes covered, I rate it 10 out of 10.
