Sometimes I stumble upon so good unknown movies that I want to share them here. The last one is called “A man from Earth” (2007). It is unique in several ways : first, all the movie takes place in one room. Second, you see teachers colleagues discussing the whole movie. Looks nice, right? But yes, you should definitely see it.

The story starts with the hero, one professor, leaving his home. Some colleagues come unexpectedly for a farewell evening, and are thrilled that the professor won’t reveal his destination. They ask questions, the hero is a bit bothered. Hesitating, he finally starts with “Ok. Imagine a man who lived 14000 years…” And he starts talking about his long lifetime, pressed by his friend questions. And here no fancy flashback with special effects or anything, just a discussion. A discussion between university teachers, with very credible characters, with reactions going from curiosity to anger, disgust, pity, incomprehension.

IMO, a factor that indicates a very good movie is for how long you still think of the movie after the end. And here, I did for a long time! Imagining the possibilities. How it would be like. Whoah!

Definitely recommand it.
