Homo sapiens

1969 · 12 min Drama
5.7 / 10 · TMDB

The first film in Vlatko Gilić’s Sisyphean trilogy, Homo sapiens follows a suited man as he takes a trek back and forth across a sandy desert to fill an oversized barrel using a woefully small tub of water. Shot in stark black and white and edited to achieve a dreamlike quality, the man’s devotion to this task is tested and taunted by a young couple that frolics around the barrel.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Homo sapiens has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.7/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1969. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
