Glasgow Film Festival Children of Men

Offering us a glimpse into the deeply divided world of 2027, Children of Men is a harrowingly convincing portrait of an all-too-familiar looking future. Decades of infertility have left society on the brink of collapse. The UK has closed its borders and immigrants are imprisoned. War has broken out between the totalitarian state and the revolutionary rebels that oppose it. Is this where we’re headed? Along with Emmanuel Lubezki’s stunning cinematography, it is this terrifying question that sets Cuarón’s dystopian masterpiece out as a significant influence on modern game design.
