Pulsating vulnerability

"Jupiter" is a finely executed film which succeeds to engulf us in the inner world of a teenage girl, faced not only with the challenges of insecurity, but with the ordeal of her disabled younger brother and her parents' descent into madness. It is a dizzy landscape and space bordering on sci-fi, even psychological horror.

During a discussion after the film, it struck me that the first comment was one of empathy for the parents. I had to counterpoint that in the madness and horror of the world, children are tragically and inexplicably ignored. I even noted that many adults are beyond help. The director insisted that they had to be reintegrated into the "good democratic society", and even that they are oblivious of their horrific deeds (have good intentions). Nevertheless, his film feels like a dissection of the vulnerability of adults in dire straits, but an ode to that of children.

P. S. It won THE YOUNG JURY AWARD at the Sofia Film Festival for a film in the International Competition.
