The Love That Remains
(2025)

Simon Abrams
|
Shot on 35mm film, The Love That Remains not only looks picturesque, but offers viewers an affectless view of its characters, not as they want to see themselves, but as their emotions dictate.

With the nuclear age came the realization that humanity had crafted a fire as destructive as any god. Worse, there was no sign that God stood in its way. One of the first movies to address that anxiety, The Day The Earth Stood Still...
