Meander
A woman, Lisa, laying in the middle of the road gets up just before a truck arrives. The driver, Adam, offers her a ride. Adam slams on the brakes when radio announcement describes a murder suspect & vehicle that matches him & his truck’s description. Lisa slams her head on the dash & wakes up in a confined room with an electronic bracelet locked on to her wrist. Apparently, she has become some kind of lab rat in tunnel maze with many dangers at every turn. Told from the protagonist’s view in these dark tunnels, nothing is really explained. Under duress at this point, Lisa at switches to her native tongue of French. If you have claustrophobic anxiety & aversion to torture porn, this may not be the film for you. Is Lisa hallucinating when she starts seeing & talking to her dead daughter? By the end, I️ find myself entertained by the intense drama but not satisfied with the conclusion. Was this pointless sci-fi or just eclectic French film making?
Alien gives it 2 “wrist symbols” stars out of 4.
