Ares

2016 · 80 min

A grim, propulsive descent into a corporate dystopia where every victory feels borrowed and the fight is always rigged.

Overview: In a near future, the world order has changed. With its 10 millions of unemployed citizens, France has now become a poor country. Its people wavers between rebellion and resignation and find an outlet in the shape of TV broadcast ultra brutal fights in which the players are legally doped and unscrupulous.
How it feels: Bleak, tense, dark and cynical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Survival, corruption, power, class
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
