Black Ark Media pulls another one out of the bag with this Afro-futurist,
Cyberpunk, postmodern, surrealist take on the inequalities of the technological divide, resource grabbing, and the struggles of being black and queer in a deeply hegemonic world. Neptune Frost is a film that questions everything and manages to remain hip, highly inventive, flamboyant, intelligent and a visual trendsetter in every sense of the word. No doubt destined to become an underground cult movie; Neptune Frost broadens the black aesthetic in a way that captures the zeitgeist of our times whilst using art in the most interesting of ways to say some important things.
Directed by Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman, 2022.
