Wait, Can We Live Forever? Joshua Oppenheimer’s New Film Says Maybe
- Joshua Oppenheimer’s new film is coming to the New York Times.
- It explores a festival where people try to stop aging.
- MUBI is helping release it this December.
We just saw some news that stopped us in our tracks. Joshua Oppenheimer is back. He has two Oscar nominations already. Now, his new short film is heading to the New York Times Op-Docs platform.
It is called The Revolution Against Death. The movie takes us inside a longevity festival. People there are trying to figure out how to live forever. Yes. Forever. No more aging. No more death.
We love the aesthetic of this film. It looks very clean and sharp. The vibe is almost like a dream. It feels a bit like the bold visions we see when The Black List picks its next big storytellers. Everything feels intentional. Visual. Striking.
The film hits screens in early December. MUBI is also part of the launch. It’s a global release. It reminds us of how fast things change. Like those rumors about John Boyega getting married out of nowhere! Everything is moving so quickly.
While we wait, we are revisiting Mrunal Thakur’s roles that we loved. Great stories are timeless. But would we want to be timeless ourselves? That’s the big question.
Our Take
This sounds wild. Living forever? No thanks. But watching a beautiful movie about it? Sign us up. Oppenheimer knows how to make things look stunning. We think the visual style will be the best part. It turns a scary topic into something we can’t look away from.
