A Shape of Things to Come is a unique blend of documentary and western that takes you deep into the Sonoran Desert. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost claustrophobic, as it explores the life of a solitary man grappling with the harsh realities of nature and an impending sense of doom. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the stark, unyielding beauty of the landscape while the visuals do much of the talking. It's not about grand narratives but the subtle, intimate moments of existence. The practical effects and raw performances lend an authenticity that feels almost visceral. There's a haunting quality to it, reflecting on humanity’s relationship with the environment and our place in a world that seems to be spiraling into chaos.
