Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for challenging, avant-garde cinema that rewards an adventurous mind—Denis Villeneuve's shapeshifting odyssey is a surreal masterpiece that critics adore, even if general audiences find it demanding. Skip it if you want straightforward storytelling and conventional narrative; this is deliberately cryptic, visually stunning weirdness that demands your full attention.
Plot
We follow 24 hours in the life of a being moving from life to life like a cold and solitary assassin moving from hit to hit. In each of these interwoven lives, the being possesses an entirely distinct identity: sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes youthful, sometimes old. By turns murderer, beggar, company chairman, monstrous creature, worker, family man.
