Condola is an intriguing piece from the late '90s, painting a rather bleak picture of a future where the wealthy float above a crumbling earth, tethered to a web of cables. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in the eerie atmosphere of this mobile existence. What stands out is the practical effects used to create the suspended homes—there’s a tactile quality that modern CGI often lacks. It explores themes of class disparity, technology's grip on society, and the fragility of this high-tech lifestyle. The performances are understated, which adds to the unsettling tone. It’s a curious watch, definitely not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi flick, but it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
