Plot: After the collapse of Earth’s ecosystem, Vesper, a 13-year-old girl struggling to survive with her paralyzed father, meets a woman with a secret who will force her to use her wits, strengths and bio-hacking abilities to fight for the possibility of having a future.
Review: From the moment I saw the trailer for Vesper, I was entranced. Echoing the dreamlike films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Luc Besson, Vesper stuck out thanks to a distinct looking visual style that made use of physical sets, locations, and special effects rather than green screen and CGI. The tangible quality of the film comes through in the well-acted production that builds a massive fictional world and remains engaging for audiences of all ages and across all languages. Vesper is a beautiful and solemn movie that stands out because it looks more real than most big-budget movies while delivering a story that resonates more deeply as well.

The travails of the neuron-transfer scientist get swirled into a surreal kaleidoscope of Eros and sci-fi in Lithuanian director Kristina Buozyte’s sophomore feature, Vanishing Waves. Like Robin Cook by way of Tarkovsky, there is an astute visual artistry on display here, even if it’s bound to remind you of countless other similarly themed tales of disconnected future love. While some of the performances are stilted and the central romance isn’t quite engaging, there’s a hypnotic power to the memorable imagery, a tequila sunrise dreamscape tapping into unexplored chasms of sensuality.
Lukas (Marius Jampolskis) is a neuron-transfer research scientist that’s been selected to participate in an experiment that will bring him into psychic contact with a coma patient. While he’s given no details about the patient, he is submerged in a sensory deprivation tank and immediately makes contact with Aurora (Jurga Jutaite), a beautiful young...
