The Revolution Against Death

Under the blinding California sun, in minimalist villas that resemble film sets, Joshua Oppenheimer explores the dream of immortality.

Following his sci-fi musical The End, the award-winning director of The Act of Killing returns to Biografilm with a haunting short film that provokes deep reflection: in a world where everyone shares the same illusion, the line between hope and the denial of reality vanishes. Can we still speak of self-deception if everyone around us shares the same idea?
