Plots(1)
Chino Moya’s debut feature Undergods places viewers in a foreign futuristic world, though sadly one that feels more familiar every day. The film's narrators maneuver through a deserted, crumbling, grayish-blue city, gathering bodies as they go and sharing nightmarish stories of a long-ago abandoned past. What follows is a series of narratives, overlapping and weaving through time and space with remarkable grace and ease. The threads come together elegantly as stories layer upon each other and crescendo towards a powerful, satisfying conclusion. (Fantasia International Film Festival)

Reviews (1)
Undergods is a deliberately stultifying nightmare of human misery framed by two guys in a post-apocalyptic future telling each other about their dreams, which gradually build up and then fall apart. As a concept, the film is remarkable in a number of ways, e.g. in its ability to evoke the grotesqueness of dreams, in which things that defy logic take place in seemingly everyday settings and bring the rottenness of our subconscious to the surface. Chino Moya presents to viewers a narrative in which absolutely anything can happen, but nothing happens at all, which further enhances the overall frustration.
