Verdict on Protanopia
Protanopia is a surreal horror journey following two men who have started questioning their own realities. They are battling over different problems as they look to control the neighbourhood. However, the journey takes them down an unexpected journey.
This movie takes us on a wild journey filled with unusual twists and turns. It shows how stepping into roles can be difficult and people won’t always accept change. However, the journeys are strange and often feel more disconnected from the bigger events happening. There tends to be more of a focus on giving us uncomfortable events to witness, rather than making the most sense of the horrors involved.
