Sam Bell is nearly at the end of a three-year solo contract mining fuel on the Moon, with only a talking computer for company. As his return date approaches, small disturbances begin to unsettle the routine he has built. A quiet, intimate science-fiction film about isolation and identity.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining low-budget science-fiction film of the late 2000s, it showed that the philosophical, character-led strand of the genre could still thrive outside the studio blockbuster.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a study of loneliness: how a person fills silence, and what it costs to be cut off from everyone.
