Mirror of the Planet

About This Movie

So, 'Mirror of the Planet' is an interesting one. Jytte Rex, in her sixth feature, really dives into some deep themes—like the existential tussle between life, death, and even the concept of God through the lens of black holes. It has this surreal atmosphere that feels almost dream-like, with Adam, the astronomer, and two kids meandering through these incredible landscapes. The pacing is a bit unconventional, which might throw off some viewers, but it allows for reflection. The performances are quite grounded amidst the abstract visuals, and it’s that contrast that makes it distinctive. You can really feel the weight of the philosophical questions being asked, all presented with a unique visual style that’s hard to shake off.
