Proteus

CriticsCritics: 28
AudienceAudience: 4.3

Group of heroin smugglers finds shelter on abandoned oil rig after their ship had exploded. Soon they find that the oil rig was just cover for biological experiment. One of the results is Charlie - shape-shifting monster with ability to absorb the memory of its victims. However, even such creatures have their own bad habits.

My take

A haunting experimental film that blurs the line between reality and mythology, following a protagonist's descent into a dreamlike world of constant transformation. Proteus demands patient, introspective viewers willing to surrender to its hypnotic, deliberately opaque narrative structure.
