One of the most lyrically moving films of the year, Ewan McGregor and Eva Green search for love as the world is threatened by a mysterious epidemic.
Michael (Ewan McGregor) is a chef in an up-market restaurant and Susan (Eva Green) is a medical researcher. Although he doesn’t usually stick around in relationships, he sees something special in Susan and they start a passionate affair. But, as an apocalyptic sickness descends on the planet, their relationship is tested beyond the limits of endurance. Dark and beautiful, strange and moody – David MacKenzie explores the human condition in a strikingly original dystopian romance.

This nicely done film scores a 5 from me.
Its production techniques weren’t that crash hot at times. They should have known you can’t mount a camera on the handlebars of a bike while being ridden over a rough pavement, nor on a wheelbarrow while being dragged up the gangplank from a boat. It’ll vibrate. Despite those few scrappy bits of film that would have been better on the cutting room floor, this film tackles an idea that has probably crossed everyone’s mind at some point but no has bothered to put into effect.
It took me a while to realise Susan starred in Casino Royale.
