A dystopian masterpiece
26 April 2023
Memory of water (Veden Vartija, Minnet av vatten) is what happens when you sneak some in of the high tech from for example movies like Blade Runner or. Hunger Games, mix it with the political oppression of 1984 but refined from 40 years of tyranny, and then place it all in living conditions looking somewhat contemporary to the Unknown Soldier (Tuntematon Sotilas) movies.

Or just everyday countryside for some, except the complete lack of anything living beyond humans. No animals, no plants, no water. Only dust and ash.

Memory of water brings up thoughts and questions on important topics that some of us normally take for granted, like freedom of speech, freedom of movement, and the always available water.

I think this was a great movie. Both in the technical and visual aspects, but most of all of course for the story. Though I did feel it was slightly different from the book, both are great in their own ways, but they are just not the same.
