Old (2021): Mortality

His newest film, Old, exists along a similar line but takes a vastly different approach. Based on the graphic novel Sandcastle, written by Pierre Oscar Lévy and drawn by Frederik Peeters, Old is about a group of tourists trapped on a beach where they rapidly age by the hour. This one isn’t so much about the fear of death (although I’m sure they’re scared of that too) as it is about having one’s life stolen from them.
