Anemone

In a dystopian future where humanity is divided into those who have left Earth and those who remain, a lone woman navigates the desolate remnants of society. She clings to fragments of the past, seeking meaning and connection in a world transformed by climate change and technological advancement. Her journey becomes a poignant exploration of memory, loss, and the enduring human spirit.

Anemone received a mixed to positive reception from critics, who praised its ambitious themes and Sorrentino's signature visual style. While some found the narrative sprawling and occasionally opaque, others lauded its profound exploration of existential questions and its powerful performances, particularly from Gary Oldman.
