I enjoyed the visual aspects (and performances) of Vesper. Somehow I hadn’t heard of this one at all when it released, but it was a decent story with some very cool world building and visuals. It actually feels a LOT like a Cronenberg film, but without the existential dread. Check it out if you are looking for a visual oddity.

Never heard of it but I’ll have to check it out.
You might like Tales from the Loop if you haven’t seen it.
While the visuals are indeed evoking, i found the plot a bit… Lacking and also a bit slow.
I think that’s fair. It’s not a banger, but I thought it was worth a viewing anyway.
I agree, and I’m thankful that there’s different styles of cinema trying new things out there.
Watched the trailer, looks definitely interesting! It doesn’t get a very high score but looks worth checking out.
I will say I didn’t go in with high expectations, but still enjoyed the weirdness, performances, and production values.
As a huge fan of biopunk, I appreciated the visuals and mood. It doesn’t have much going for it when it comes to story, sadly.
I couldn’t quite get into it and stopped watching about the 30-45 min mark but it was visually stunning.
Just want to say: I’m with you. I thought vesper was very worth the watch with enough going on to keep you interested.
It is an interesting thing to think about, a world where biology is used as technology or better, as an extension there of.
I tried to watch it three times, but after first 15-30 minutes, I keep losing interest given its incredibly slow pace.
Visuals are interesting but tbh this movie is on a relatively short list of movies I’ve skipped through. I usually give up on movies I don’t find interesting or stay engaged, but sometimes a setting/plot is interesting enough to see to the end but overall is a very slow/dull film.
I had heard about this one and wanted to watch it, then forgot about it. thanks for the reminder.

But that’s what I watch Cronenberg films for!
Why not both?
This is a good weird movie.
