Half the World

About This Movie

Half the World is just one of those films that draws you in with its unique take on a post-apocalyptic society. The sun is basically a death sentence, so the whole world flips to a nocturnal lifestyle, creating this eerie, almost claustrophobic atmosphere. The practical effects stand out, especially for a '90s film, making the dark cityscapes feel lived-in and gritty. The diverse languages and cultures presented add a rich tapestry to the narrative, which is really intriguing. Pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of works with the dreamlike quality. It's a film that sits with you – you know, the kind that makes you think about survival and humanity in the strangest of circumstances.
