Rapture
Logline:
2002, future. After a series of apocalyptic events,
human life has completely changed.
At an unidentified military base, near a small village,
soldiers continue to mysteriously disappear.
And the area was flooded with strange mutants with the hole in the head. People are afraid to go out and the local detective has to fix it somehow.
Synopsis:
"Rapture" is a surrealistic film that could also be described as neonoir or pseudo-noir, with elements of science fiction and silent cinema. The sound design and original music, as well as the framing and acting, allow us to classify it as an experimental film with an influence of necrorealism.
"Rapture" is a low-budget film made in a very short period of time by a small team, it was conceived as a prequel or a presentation of the universe of the "Dark Times", created by Maxim Didenko and Igor Tsvetkov. The main issues raised in the "universe" despite the surrealist veil woven of dreams, paranoid states, reflections on the theme of death, violence and love is the climate catastrophe and the relationship of people during it.
