Relic 1

About This Movie

So 'Relic 1' is really interesting. It's the second part of Larry Achiampong's Relic Traveller: Phase 1 project, if you're into multidisciplinary stuff. The film blends science fiction with this heavy emphasis on postcolonial themes, which gives it a unique atmosphere. You feel the weight of history and identity throughout. The pacing can be a bit slow, but that just allows you to soak in the visuals—different landscapes that almost tell their own stories. Practical effects, while not always flashy, have a raw quality that adds to the immersive experience. The performances are understated, but they resonate with the mood Achiampong aims for. It's definitely a piece that makes you think.
