Parabellum
Written by Ana Godoy, Esteban Prado and Lukas Valenta Rinner
Directed by Lukas Valenta Rinner
Argentina/Austria/Uruguay, 2015
Cinema is certainly no stranger to Armageddon scenarios. Whether it’s environmental collapse, zombie uprising, or alien infestation, these CGI-stuffed extravaganzas aren’t exactly known for their subtle charms. Parabellum, the debut film from Austrian director Lukas Valenta Rinner, proves that ending the world with a series of whimpers can be just as affecting as a set of big bangs.
Set in the near future, stoic Buenos Aires resident Hernán (Pablo Seijo) has had enough of the 24-hour news cycle of environmental disasters and economic failures. Hernán and a group of equally-nondescript citizens join a remote jungle enclave to prepare for the inevitable collapse. There, they learn a wide range of bizarre and deadly skills, such as making homemade explosives, identifying edible roots and fungi, crisis negotiations, and a healthy dose of firearms training.
