Mécanix

The beginning of "MECANIX" strikes hard. The first seconds of the movie immerse us at once in a universe still unknown till now. The sepia tint of the chaotic image and the settings added to a stressed grain provoke at once a kind of time travel. Indeed, "MECANIX" seems to come from another time, a period when cinematographical technics were hardly known about. It then reveals its tortured world in which the biomechanical creatures walk across a rusteaten metal ground, some creatures who succeeded in taking the place of human beings as the dominating specie. The last human beings left alive were reduced to slavery and live in cages like cattle. However, these hybrid and nightmarish creatures doubt and are scared. They fear the "embryo", the only possible hindrance to their total and final domination. According to the legend, the "embryo" would be hidden in a human being bowels. Then, the slaves are regularly gored, as a security matter, that confirming once and for all their cattle in a cage going to the slaughterhouse status. That's when the last free man, a lonely being wondering in an apocalyptic setting, finds the embryo and, instictively, hides it in his belly. The biomacanical monster era is then threatened.
