In a post-apocalyptic future, in which humans have lost the power of speech and live in gangs, abandoned cities, sandstorms and ruins are the setting where the Man (Pierre Jolivet), the Brute (Jean Reno), the Captain, the Dwarf, and the Doctor roam and clash. Luc Besson’s powerful debut in black and white and in cinemascope takes its cue from his previous short film L’avant dernier and already reveals his great visual power. [mp]
