‘Meanwhile On Earth’ Review: An Endearingly Surreal Meditation On Loss – Berlin Film Festival
‘Meanwhile On Earth’ review: an endearingly surreal meditation on loss – Berlin Film Festival
Riffing on Jean Cocteau’s 1950 classic Orphée and giving it a very modern makeover, French writer-director Jérémy Clapin explores that very paradox with Meanwhile on Earth, a strange, poetic, and endearingly surreal meditation on the counterintuitive ways in which we react when confronted with loss. In a very literal way, Clapin has been here before, with his acclaimed and surprisingly poignant 2019 animated film I Lost My Body, in which the disembodied hand of a pizza delivery boy goes on a journey to find the rest of itself. Title: Meanwhile on Earth Festival: Berlin (Panorama) Sales agent: Charades Director/screenwriter: Jérémy Clapin Cast: Megan Northam, Catherine Salée, Sam Louwyck, Roman Williams, Sofia Lesaffre Running time: 1 hr 28 min
