Daniel Shapiro and Alex Topaller, founders of the Aggressive design studio, deliver the US/Polish co-production ESCAPE ATTEMPT based on the Strugatsky Brothers’s novella of the same name. It’s a visually sumptuous creation, with shadows of Soviet sci-fi and a considerable degree of philosophical urgency. Best not to spoil the plot, other than to say that it concerns a man striving to get to an uninhabited planet. – Mitch Davis
