Vesper

AroView: An immersive and satisfying dystopian drama exquisitely crafted by Lithuanian-French directing team Kristina Buozyte and Bruno Samper, and performed by an exemplary English cast, led by Raffiella Chapman (His Dark Materials).

Set after the collapse of Earth’s ecosystem, the world-building here is thorough and convincing, combining otherworldly Lithuanian locations with astonishingly rendered special effects. With a script that comes equally well developed, this is especially recommended for fans of thoughtful, melancholy sci-fi, and even younger viewers reared on the likes of ‘Doctor Who’ will have their patience thrillingly rewarded.

“Dystopian sci-fi has rarely been as delicately and beautifully detailed as Kristina Buozyte and Bruno Samper’s new film.” ~Tasha Robinson, Polygon

“A wistful beauty and a delicately imaginative sense of craft set Vesper apart from most post-apocalyptic stories.” ~Nicolas Rapold, The New York Times
