Director Asif Kapadia’s next feature is a foray into a semi-sci-fi apocalypse.
Seems pretty interesting! I’ll give it a shot 🏴☠️

Though 2073, Kapadia’s new film, features plenty of archival news footage from our present, it’s also a sci-fi thriller set in a distant future where years of climate-related disasters and the rise of authoritarianism have transformed the world into a dystopian hellscape.
Of course it’s authoritarianism that is focused on and I will bet my fucking life that it does little or less than nothing to point out that what is actually causing this collapse is specifically capitalism and will probably even do some both sides bullshit lib takes but whatever, I will still pirate it because I love dystopian sci-fi slop.
We need more media that explicitly calls for violent revolution and the overthrow of capitalism goddammit.

Conceptually seems compelling… not enthralled with the execution and over reliance on current stock footage. Should have focused on the fiction after establishing stock footage without then continuously cutting back to it like a crutch.
