(2015) Évolution
(In French with English subtitles)
SCIENCE-FICTION DRAMA HORROR / ART HOUSE
No plot movie, but more of a character study through the eyes of a young boy named Nicolas (Max Brebant), as he and other boys all somewhat the same age as him. Swimming around and doing what little boys do, while eating green-like slop, and they do this daily and routinely while living with their so-called single mothers- all albino and white while living on a compound near the ocean, sleeping in rooms with no other possessions other than a bed. Viewers wouldn't even know it is even on an island until much later as there no men at all- just albino women and their so-called children. As by the end of the movie, I was still kind of baffled who is really human and who isn't. What is so unusual with Nicolas is the fact that he breaks this cycle or chain by doing things other boys his age do not do such as draw pictures on a note pad, and leaving the household overnight. Nicolas also bonds with one of the nurses Stella (Roxane Duran), he drew a picture of, while some bizarre surgeries are performed on him and each of the boys. There's supposed to be a correlation between the adult women with suction cups on their backs and the ocean for we are given no explanation why they are there, or how it came about, leaving viewers to their imagination.
There is nothing cringing about it but can be defined as strange and subtle, yet watchable.
