The World to Come: Directed by Mona Fastvold. With Katherine Waterston, Casey Affleck, Vanessa Kirby, Christopher Abbott. Somewhere along the mid-19th century American East Coast frontier, two neighboring couples battle hardship and isolation, witnessed by a splendid yet testing landscape, challenging them both physically and psychologically.

“Positive and negative are surprisingly combined in this film. Yes, I would change the music completely and add a little movement, and would not wait until the very last minute to throw everything out there, and yet there is something in this picture. Perhaps this is a contradiction. Perhaps an understatement. Or maybe you just need to use your imagination. If this is the secret, then by revealing it we will understand why Christianity and Christ differ so much.”
