My Best Film Poster of 2018

WELCOME TO SODOM 
YOUR SMART PHONE IS ALREADY HERE

Went to see it yesterday.  The scene in the poster is the film's climax when a mountain of plastic is set on fire - computer screens, televisions, and other rubbish.  It follows a scene where a baby girl is born and her family wish her a better future.

The inhabitants of Sodom come and go. At any time there will be found 6,000 people scavenging in a semi-organized way. It is the only way many can survive. Others are there to hide.

A gay Jewish man who used to be a doctor and read Shakespeare lives in Sodom for fear that the Muslims will behead him. He has nowhere else to go. He says he will die there.

There is no commentary to the film. It is merely the protagonists who speak.

Many dream of Libya and the route to Italy.

The whole dirty business is illegal.

No policeman or other authority will ever set foot in Sodom.

It's the proverbial blind eye, or the three monkeys, whatever you like.

A hard film to watch.
