The Big Picture Sci-fi, a genre that marries entertainment with profound philosophical exploration, often relies on extravagant budgets, stunning visuals, or the charisma of its actors to captivate audiences. It is a genre that allows us to dream and to posit realities not yet possible or conceived. The genre can entertain and inspire by establishing complex worlds and foreign moralities.
Actors Tilda Swinton Release Date February 25, 2020 Run Time 70 minutes Director Jóhann Jóhannsson Studio Films Boutique What Is 'Last and First Men' About? Told as a type of transmission projected into the past, Tilda Swinton narrates the ill-fated journey of humanity through cycles of savagery and civilization, where each subsequent civilization reaches greater technological, philosophical and evolutionary heights than the previous civilization.
'Last and First Men' Does This One Thing Better Than Any Sci-Fi Film Last and First Men builds worlds like no other, using monochromatic shots of monolithic-type architecture and Swindon's detached, clinical narration to capture human evolution's anguish and beauty beautifully. The architecture looks archaic for something set so far into the future. A world where the pursuit of beauty seems to have replaced capitalism.
The film's solemnity is bolstered by an original score composed by the film's director, Jóhann Jóhannsson, an accomplished composer in his own right, and performed by the BBC Philharmonic. The absence of actors or human interaction gives the film a crushing loneliness and agonizing transcendence of everything we understand.
