IN MY ROOM
O.V. German and English subtitle in Spanish and English
Ulrich Köhler (Bungalow, Sleeping Sickness) breaks away with a film whose post-apocalyptic plot may recall the series The Last Man on Earth or I Am Legend, if those products were told in the style of the Berlin School (to which Köhler belongs, along with directors like Maren Ade or Christian Petzold). A man wakes one day and all signs of human life have disappeared. Empty streets and buildings, crashed cars, animals running loose. Ahead, the task of surviving.
