A former Soviet scientist and collaborator in the project shrugs his shoulders: "There is no answer to these questions." Isn't there? Isn't the answer that he and his like should, years ago, have been put in the dock for crimes against humanity? Go to Full Review

08/05/2016 Endlessly inventive film uses its small budget to generate interest. See more 06/24/2013 No one can speak. Five people interact. Some macabre events occur. This is how a post apocalyptic scenario might develop. Not sure what the message is. A sequence of nihilistic events. Not really engaging. Look elsewhere. See more 07/19/2010 Black and white, art house, post apocalyptic film. Borrows heavily from "Le Dernier Combat", but is still a smart and intriguingly bleak film. See more 05/03/2010 Very hard to tell a story without dialogue. It is never explained why they cannot speak. See more 08/15/2009 Add a review (optional)... See more Read all reviews
