In Necrosis

Lebanon / 2024 / 01:18:39

Nécrose explores the post-apocalyptic remnants of Beirut and the remote landscapes of Lebanon. Blending elements of documentary and surrealism, it narrates the other side of the story of Genesis by following a man and a woman who awaken in an underground purgatory, trapped in a decayed post-human world where time stands still. Their journey through desolate cityscapes, abandoned ruins, and murky nature blurs the line between reality and nightmare, taking viewers on a cosmic odyssey of consciousness. As the film delves into personal introspection, it ventures into darkness and insanity, immersing audiences in a visceral and disorienting experience. “Nécrose” is a haunting visual and sensory exploration, inviting viewers to question the nature of existence and to embrace the enigmatic beauty of a world on the brink of collapse. Within the interminable darkness of this temporal landscape, the film becomes an elegy for a displaced spirit, embodied by the director. Like a wandering soul, the camera guides us through a fragmented odyssey navigating the shadows of a post-human realm, blurring the boundaries between reality and the director’s own subjective experiences.
