The world is on fire, and one man does everything he can to avoid facing the impending apocalypse alone in this atmospheric zombie drama about the fear of losing everything you hold dear. In a remote house in the countryside, a man lives with his parrot and a mysterious creature locked in a cage, which he carefully feeds a daily ration of raw meat. While he tends to his chores in what appears to be a slow, steady routine, the world outside is falling apart as a mysterious virus spreads among humanity. All it takes is one unguarded moment for the fragile sense of security in the small house to shatter. Malin Dahl (Lantisar, 2019) has crafted a multilayered story of grief, beautifully captured through stunning cinematography—a must-see for fans of John Ajvide Lindqvist and existential zombie films.
这部现实主义风格的影片突出表现了人与人之间的隔膜和孤独。约翰·卡萨维茨既是性格演员，又是个成功的导演。这部独立制作的影片花了8个月的时间拍摄，所耗费的5万美元是他当演员时攒下的。为节约成本，他用16mm的摄影机在借用的民房里即兴拍摄，并在自己的车库里将影片翻印成35mm的影片。他花了整整3年的时间才找到代理发行的公司，但上映后却受到好评，并获得奥斯卡最佳编剧、最佳男女配角金像奖的提名。 本片描写丈夫理查德在外面和妓女调情，妻子玛丽娅却和流浪汉同床共宿，当妻子的奸情被丈夫发觉后，理查德痛骂妻子，而玛丽娅则向他声明他们的关系彻底结束。
