Myth of Man

I'm an actor and would sell my arms to perform a role in such a great masterpiece of movie. Jamin and Kiowa Winans show us why we artists are making art. We need stories of value, of visibility, of things in life which are between the lines to refer to! To help us at least to try to understand why we are here? And why now?

Jamin created a fantastic surreal world full of symbolic pieces, put them very carefully in every detail, engaged a brilliantly tremendous cast to tell an essential life-questioning story you've never seen anything alike before!

I've seen this brilliant diesel- punk movie three times on the big screen and it felt every time like an increase and consolidation of emotional elements.

With lead actress Laura Rauch as Ella (you just loose yourself in her aura), Anthony Nuccio wonderfully charismatic as Seeg, Martin Angerbauer terrific as bad- boy Boxback, Ian Hinton fabulously as Caley, Winans has found an ensemble of brilliant actors to give his story and fantastic surrealistic world a voice! A voice you won't hear but experience through acting, through the fine drawn storylines, through the tense atmosphere created by Winans with his epic soundtrack, the whole team and cast. You feel every minute that the people participating in that movie knew they were creating something special. And they did!

This is a movie which goes beyond visibility and words, beyond moralism or teaching lessons, beyond question and answers. Just one important statement what I have learned or rather what my conclusion was: together we can create, together we can reach beautiful things.

I would struggle to find the words to retell the story of Myth of Man but this is a film I will likely never forget. It is beautifully shot, the matt pastel colours are gorgeous and the music sublime. The lead actress is incredible - telling immensely moving chapters with just a furrow of her brow, a slight smile or a widening of her eyes - she is an incredible talent and I am sure she will go on to achieve marvelous things. The whole styling of this film pulls you in and keeps you amazed in scene after scene. I cannot recommend it highly enough and it's current score on IMDB of 5.5 is absolutely bewildering to me.

We saw this film at a special screening in Nashville a few months ago at the Franklin Theater. This is a very mesmerizing piece of art and deserves to be seen!

I just read a really negative review on here saying this is some sort of right-wing, anti-vax, pro-Christian, wet dream and wanted to respond -as one of the most pro-vax, non-religious, left-leaning people you'll ever meet. That review is complete nonsense!

As with any art piece, there are about a million ways you can interpret anything. This movie isn't really political at all, at least not from a traditional ideology, and even if you DID want to put it in a political box, I'd say it is about non-conformity, rebellion, individuality, and acceptance - certainly not positions the US right believes in. Are there religious undertones? Maybe, if you are inclined to believe there are, you can find them. You can certainly find a "higher-power" but not a benevolent god one should worship

At it's core, this is an incredible achievement in both aesthetic beauty and sound. It is a touching story of survival and friendship in a world gone mad. And it's all done with no dialogue. It's a two hour long sensory journey that you've never seen anything like before and may never see again. I would 100% recommend it.

I really wish it had been released on more screens around the country because not seeing it on the big screen will most assuredly lessen the impact that it has on you. This is a work of art that deserves to be seen!

Absolutely beautiful film that is wonderful to look at and moving to consider. I don't often watch films more then once, but I look forward to experiencing this film a second time. Thank you to the director, writer and cast that made this charming and deeply meaningful movie possible. As I was watching I could not stop myself from thinking about the amount of time and work that had to go into this project. With all the lazy writing and storytelling that is common with many films today, this was a breath of fresh air. The telling of a story through glances, facial expression and body language drew one to concentrate even more on the characters and their own idiosyncrasies. I found myself lost with them and rooting for them with each struggle they attempted to overcome. Really wonderful and moving experience.

It brings tears to your eyes to watch such a brave film in our times... This is a recipe that should be followed more... If not the only recipe to make a movie... It comes from people who care... So the question is: Do you want to watch more films like that? With a true heart beat of their own? Show and share your love and support. I'll try to do so...

I 'm jealous of those who watched this stunning achievement in theatre... Congratulations to anyone involved... Magnificent film...

I'm gonna watch Jamin and Kiowa Winans previous films as well right now... I'm sure some treasures are about to be found...
