Chronology
In flashbacks, the family joins a cosmic cult that promises salvation on Jupiter
As the past reveals their struggles, her teenage daughter must choose between following her parents into the cult or forging her own path on Earth. Jupiter Ascendance (2019).
A dizzying landscape and space that borders on sci-fi to psychological horror
"Jupiter" is a superbly crafted film that touches on the inner world of a teenage girl who not only faces the challenges of uncertainty, but also the trials of her disabled younger brother and her parents' descent into madness. During the discussion after the film, it was heard that the first comment was empathy for the parents.
I even noticed that many adults were not helpful
I had to counter that in the madness and horror of the world, children are tragically and inexplicably neglected. The director insisted that they should be reintegrated into a “good democratic society” and even that their terrible actions should not be acknowledged (with good intentions).
Nevertheless, his film appears to be an examination of the vulnerability of adults in difficult situations, but an ode to children
