On dirait la planète mars

First, the gorilla in the room: this movie was never distributed properly. I had to vpn to canada to buy and watch it on vimeo.

But it's brilliant, and well worth the effort. It's rather ironic that this movie was ignored because it echoes exactly the sense of purposelessness evoked in the movie.

Why film if you're not going to show it? Why dream of a movie if you're not going to preview it? Why follow your dreams? At which cost?

Anyone who ever dreamt of 'living it all behind' will love this. This is a movie that makes you think about the frailty of the human imagination, and the fragility of dreams in the face of an uncaring world.

The budget is rock bottom, but the produciton value match the 'cynicism' of the film. The viking lander is litterally a bin with 'viking' written on it. It's a powerful metaphor for the sillyness of it all, and the aspiration of a man who could dream big and was let down by a company that uses people for their own purposes.

I can't quite frame it, and I'll be sure to think about this movie many times in the future when i'm faced between opting for 1 or 2 surgars in my coffee.

Wonderful. If you loved i-origins, or primer, or similar low-budget scif-fi, you'll enjoy this a lot.
