Britain's What's On Event Guide
Neptune Frost
Cinema | (15) | 109 minutes
Neptune Frost is set in an otherworldly e-waste camp made of recycled computer parts. A subversive hacking collective attempts a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region’s natural resources–and its people. When an intersex runaway (Neptune, played by both Elvis Ngabo and Cheryl Isheja) and an escaped coltan miner (Matalusa, played by Kaya Free) find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. With hypnotic visuals and original songs composed by musician and co-director Saul Williams, this celestial cyber-musical offers a radically bold vision of power, exploitation, and love.
The science fiction romantic musical film is also co-directed Anisia Uzeyman. It follows the relationship between Neptune and Matalusa, coltan miners whose love leads a hacker collective. Ezra Miller serves as a producer, while Lin-Manuel Miranda executive produces.
The film had its world premiere at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors Fortnight section on July 8, 2021. Neptune Frost is the name of a black Revolutionary soldier who served in the Continental Army in 1775.
