Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Sophie J — 24 Oct 2017
Meditative and evocatively beautiful, with subtle callbacks to its predecessor which add layers of meaning to an already-rich mythology. The twinning themes of the nature of being and subjugation play out brutally in the utter isolation of this dark future.
A sweeping character in its own right, the cinematography towers in a vast emptiness where no detail is missed, inspiring awe like the calculated architectural messaging in a gothic cathedral. Here the environmental actor serves as a constant reminder of man's dichotomously tiny stature and his outsized capacity for destruction.
Mesmerizing.
