What's the film about?
A fugitive lands on an apparently deserted island, but soon some strange tourists arrive... Based on Adolfo Bioy Casares' science fiction novel, the film reduces the plot to its bare essentials, focusing on the metaphorical level. The style is both minimalist (no word is spoken in the first 30 minutes) and surrealist, with a dreamlike quality of mise-en-scène. Very demanding but also very inspiring.

...if you enjoy arthouse cinema, here you have a sci-fi fantasy in form of Borgesian paradox.

I really like Bioy Casares' novel, I did not know it had been adapted for film! I will have to track down a copy of this.
