Plot
On the small celestial sphere we call Earth, humanity, its peculiar denizens, find themselves ensnared in a relentless pursuit of destruction. Living and dying by a solitary, haunting principle: to kill. Beneath the veil of glaring hypocrisy, the stark reality of death, devastation and unspoken cruelty lie brazenly exposed. It is a world riddled with jarring societal contradictions and moral absurdities that seemingly define the human condition.
Dead Times presents a chilling exploration of mankind's inextricable bond with violence, a bond that has trapped us in an endless vortex of bloodshed and warfare. Yet, in the midst of this grim panorama, stretches the hazy, nebulous expanse of 'dead time,' a void that looms as ominously as the acts it punctuates.
The film employs a potent blend of original drawings by Topor, primary footage, and a medley of stock shots. Through this rich tapestry of visuals, it embarks on an ironic and incisive analysis of what it truly means to be a man. Each frame of Dead Times, armed with biting sarcasm and uncanny observation, peels back the layers of our existence, laying bare the raw, often brutal, essence of humanity.
