This film swims in the same waters as "City of Lost Children", "Brazil", and Chaplin's "The Kid." The visuals and invention are stunning - a world of brass fixtures, steam-powered dreams, and impossible architecture that defies gravity itself. The steampunk aesthetic extends beyond mere set dressing into the very fabric of the storytelling, where each mechanical marvel serves a narrative purpose. But it's the actors who really make this thing fly, bringing subtle humanity to even the most fantastical sequences. The lead performances in particular find that delicate balance between whimsy and emotional truth, grounding the film's flights of fancy in genuine human experience. Full of heart and creative to the nth degree, "Myth of Man" proves there's still room for films that take bold risks while remaining emotionally resonant. The director's vision never wavers, crafting a unique cinematic language that speaks to both the imagination and the soul. A rare gem - I'm excited to see how audiences receive this boldly original work.
