Children of Men
Synopsis
2027, UK. Global infertility has led to catastrophic unrest. Theo, a jaded activist-turned-bureaucrat, is coerced by a migrant-rights group into procuring transit papers for Kee, a pregnant refugee. Amid bombings and breaches of trust, Theo must secure her safe passage—and the future of humanity.
Editorial
Hauntingly plausible and rattlingly immediate, Alfonso Cuarón’s dystopian vision of a sallow, miasmic, postlapsarian England hit home on first release. With its breakneck chases and blood-spotted point-of-view shots, Children of Men has lost none of its force as the year of its setting draws near.
