The Last Journey of the Enigmatic Paul WR
Romain Quirot
France, 2015, 17 min.
In French with English subtitles.
The red moon threatens the existence of our planet. Mankind only hope lies upon the shoulders of the enigmatic Paul WR, the most talented astronaut of his generation. Mysteriously, a few hours before the mission launch, Paul has disappeared.
Director's Statement
The film is inspired by works of science fiction that I enjoyed as a child. The one's with flying cars, a threat to the existence of mankind, and one mission that can save us all. I liked the idea that Paul WR, has absolutely no desire to become the savoir of humanity. He eludes his mission by wandering alone through an immense desert. As far as influences go, you could say that the film is somewhere in-between Star Wars and Paris, Texas
