Planet B
2039: after a group of environmental activists are arrested in the midst of an attempted bombing, they wake up on Planet B—the world’s first virtual prison—and begin to search for an escape, just as a journalist learns of the facility’s existence and sets about infiltrating it.
2039: after a group of environmental activists known only as “R” are arrested in the midst of an attempted bombing, they wake up on Planet B—the world’s first virtual prison. R’s members, among them Julia (Adèle Exarchopoulos), struggle to figure out how to escape, but soon find that the greatest challenge of all might be resisting the temptation to turn on each other; meanwhile, undocumented Iraqi journalist Nour (Souheila Yacoub) learns of the facility’s existence and sets about finding her way in. Unnervingly tapping into contemporary anxieties about VR and climate change, Aude Léa Rapin’s innovative thriller looks slightly into the future to offer a disturbingly convincing vision of what could be in store. Alongside cutting-edge visual effects, Planet B boasts a typically ominous and atmospheric score from director-composer Bertrand Bonello (director of NYFF61 Main Slate selection The Beast).
