Our take

Winner of Best Film in Venice’s Horizon section, Valentyn Vasyanovych’s post-apocalyptic drama is an urgent parable of life after war. Painting horrifyingly beautiful landscapes wrought by ecological and economic destruction, Atlantis offers both caution and hope for our speculative future.
