John, le dernier ouvrier sur terre, l'an 2024 (1991)

Directed by Maria Koleva

· 1h 14m

In his bed, John thinks he’s in New York in 2024. He’s a big funny liar. While he is making weapons for nothing, the others have taken their future into their own hands: they have succeeded in concentrating so much, in acquiring the gift of leaving the earth through a mental ray. Free... some are free. No one has ever been able to dominate thought, they invented the leaving, the great journey... seeking freedom" (excerpt from the film). But John, alias Patrick, never wanted to think alone. The spectator accompanies him in his comic justifications. A sexual nurse and an Irish killer who came to execute him for serious misconduct visit him. He gets attached to the killer. In an incredible violence is born a rare thing, friendship... John is immersed in music from the Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices. Patrick-John, the music, the beautiful heaps and the cathedral factories of the North collide in an invigorating self-laughter and a liberation of speech.
