#HIFF movies, last day of the festival, movie 2/2.
A musical and a visual roller coaster, "Neptune Frost" was certainly an interesting and powerful film. It was a bit hard to follow at times, moving in a poetic and artful way without any clear narrative to follow. As a line from the movie itself puts it, "Maybe you're asking yourself, WTF is this?". Yes, I was quite a few times. But it was also a fascinating journey of wtf.
The film highlights the colonialism still happening through mining of metals for electronics for the west. It also makes several references to corrupt politics and state oppression. I wasn't at all surprised to see the name of Saul Williams as the writer and one of the directors.
