The Last of Us (2016)

With no dialogue, “The Last of Us” tracks a Sub-Saharan man through the desert to North Africa where he steals a boat. When it breaks down in the middle of the sea, he begins an imaginary surrealistic odyssey where he meets an older man, who might be an altered version of himself, and, in a wild landscape, rediscovers his relationship with primary nature. This tale of an immigrant’s voyage towards Europe becomes “a philosophical fable on being lost. It re-launches with great audacity an abstract and experimental cinema which is adventurous and even science fictional” says Giona Nazzaro the artistic director of the Venice Critics Week in a statement.
