Remake of Jupiter (2019)
In flashbacks, the family embarks on a cosmic pilgrimage that promises salvation on the planet Jupiter. As the past reveals their struggles, their teenage daughter must choose whether to follow her parents into a cult or forge her own path on Earth.
It is a dizzying landscape and a space that borders on science fiction, even psychological horror
"Jupiter" is a finely executed film that manages to draw us into the inner world of a teenage girl who faces not only the challenges of insecurity, but also the torment of a disabled younger brother and a parent' descent into madness. In the discussion that followed the film, the first comment that came to mind was one of pity for the parents.
I have even seen many adults who are helpless
I had to respond that children are tragically and inexplicably neglected in the madness and horror of the world. The director insisted that they should be reintegrated into a “good democratic society” and that they are unaware of their horrific actions (they have good intentions).
He won the Young Jury Award at the Sofia Film Festival for a film in the international competition
Despite this, his film acts as a fragment of the vulnerability of adults in dire straits, but also of the vulnerability of children. S.
