The movie

What’s worse than a car accident? A car accident in a devastated world infested with bloodthirsty creatures that come out at night! Hard to imagine things could get any worse for Juliette, a brave young woman who went looking for food. Stuck in her broken car, Juliette goes down memory lane and reminisces about the love story that defined her, trying to find the strength to survive. By punctuating his supernatural thriller with romantic flashbacks, Mathieu Turi combines two worlds that would have seemed incompatible. The very gifted director slowly transforms his claustrophobic survival into a metaphorical representation of the protagonist’s life. The surrounding desert, the armoured body of the car and the menacing creature all work as symbolic challenges. This masterfully directed tale of survival focused on a woman trying to find herself is not completely dissimilar to films like Alien and Gravity.
