Simple and Exhilarating

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2019)

Despite the few similarities with the films of Tarkovsky, this film which is not outdone by the latter when it comes to its philosophical density, is on the same track with the great director's works on account of simplicity. Garland seems to be well aware of the fact that, helping the audience in focusing on the philosophical core it is best to limit the scenario on a simple setting with as few characters as possible. If this film is normally to be characterized as a philosophical movie, then it must be remembered that philosophical first of all means existentialist in the world of motion picture. With some samples shooted recently, this philosophical work of art stans out this dominant tendency in that, its questioning is motivated by the overlapping between philosophy and science.
