Neptune Frost

Neptune Frost                   1 sun

Neptune Frost is a futuristic science fiction story set in Africa with an all African cast and filmed in Rwanda. It concerns a rebellion of miners against an authoritarian state that is led by an intersex runaway named Neptune who is able to affect events through the internet. There is much poetic language and imaginative music involved and much use of discarded computer parts to create the art in the film. Though creative, this film just did not connect with me. I think it shares some themes of William Gibson science fiction novels, but it took a while before I started to get the ideas behind it.
