VISIONS OF THE APOCALYPSE

Far from being limited to the spectacle of disaster, these films probe the deepest fears of each era: the loss of control, the breakdown of bonds, the fragility of the body, or the deterioration of the planet.

Between the prophetic visions of 12 Monkeys and Akira, the dissolution of all logic in the delirium of Week-end, or the suspended melancholy in the face of the inevitable in Melancholia, the end appears as both an intimate and collective experience. Apocalypse Now: Final Cut unfolds as an inner journey to the heart of horror, while Invasion of the Body Snatchers translates the paranoia of its time into a warning that still resonates today. Alongside them, Anzu, Phantom Cat offers a miniature apocalypse of rare beauty, where death also becomes a threshold to the invisible.

A cycle to confront our fears and ask ourselves: what remains when everything disappears? What endures when everything collapses.
