Set in a mysterious, isolated volcanic island populated only by women and young boys, Lucile Hadžihalilović’s first feature since 2004’s Innocence is an open-ended visual feast. Recalling Max Ernst’s surrealist paintings, Evolution is a poetic journey into a mysterious world of childhood dreams, fantasies and fears. A closed-off world of medical horrors and unspoken social and sexual secrets is slowly revealed. An extreme close-up of a crimson red starfish tentatively extending its limb toward a young boy’s exposed navel will remain ingrained in your memory long after the credits roll.
