Plot: A man tries to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Nature has been reduced to a desert, technology has seized to function and people do their best to survive. The main protagonist is working on an aircraft that he hopes will take him to a nicer place, but there are no friendly people around and salvaging parts is tricky.

This is where Luc Besson started his career, and he sure opened with a bang. While not quite as good as the first time I watched The Last Battle (which felt like ages ago), it's a film that has kept a lot of its initial appeal and still feels unique, even when some of its tropes have been repeated endlessly since its release.
There is no dialogue, the film is shot in moody black-and-white and you kinda need to piece everything together yourself. It has that comfy punk vibe, though the film is maybe a little too clean and nice compared to some of its (Japanese) peers and the score feels ill-fitting. Still, there's a lot of fun to be had with this one.
