Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Asif Kapadia combines documentary and fiction in 2073, a hellish vision of a dystopian future based on current and past world events. He predicts a scorched Earth decimated by climate change, with a ruling class of one-percenters who use surveillance technology to violently crush dissent. The paper-thin narrative intercuts the travails of a fictionalized protagonist with archival news footage and commentary from noted journalists, activists, and political figures. Kapadia unabashedly employs a sledgehammer approach to preach liberal values while excoriating right-wing populism and libertarianism. 2073’s heavy-handed doomsday prophesying will certainly rankle those with contrasting views, but there’s no denying the validity of Kapadia’s arguments.
