Black Mirror

Black Mirror

Directed by Doug Aitken

20114 min7.8 / 10

A haunting, deliberately obscure meditation on isolation and failed connection set against a desolate technological landscape.

A nameless drifter navigates a barren landscape punctuated by satellite dishes, radio towers and droning airplanes. Stopping periodically in anonymous hotel rooms, she makes attempts to connect to an unidentified second party.
