Review of Embers (2015) by John H — 05 Aug 2016
After reading other reviews, I wonder if the people saw the same film, or even know what a mockumentary is. This film is four narratives that are intercut. The style is a bit neo-realist, but not imitating documentary.
The post-apocalyptic storyline, serious acting by a child character, and heavy use of locations reminds of Rosellini's Germany Year Zero. As sci-fi it has more in common with Tarkovsky than Spielberg and that's a good thing if you like smart, subtle filmmaking.
