Aniara

A SIMPLE TRIP TO MARS WILL BECOME THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME.

Sometime in the future, passengers are boarding a spacecraft that will take them from an ailing Earth to Mars, but Aniara subsequently faces a tremendous challengeā€¦ Swedish science fiction may not be a familiar thing to most audiences, but this one offers an interesting dystopian view of what we might face if we donā€™t get global warming under control. The filmmakersā€™ feature debut was inspired by the Nobel Prize-winning author Harry Martinsonā€™s epic poem; its themes are well represented throughout the film. Uneven, but ultimately a haunting experience.

2019-Sweden-Denmark. 106 min. Color. Widescreen. Written and directed byĀ Pella KĆ„german, Hugo Lilja. Poem: Harry Martinson. Cast: Emelie Jonsson (MR), Bianca Cruzeiro (Isagel), Arvin Kananian (Chefone), Anneli Martini, Jennie Silfverhjelm, Emma BroomĆ©.

Trivia: The poem has also inspired an opera and music albums.
