Meanwhile on Earth Review: A New Take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers
In a shift from his animation work, notably his critically acclaimed debut “I Lost My Body”, French filmmaker Jérémy Clapin delves into live-action with a compelling sci-fi drama that leaves some questions unanswered. Titled “On Earth Meanwhile“, the story revolves around a young woman tormented by the enigma of her astronaut brother’s disappearance during a space mission. Astonishingly, she receives a message from him, but there is a major obstacle preventing his safe return home. The film’s stylish direction, interspersed animated sequences, and the protagonist’s internal struggle resonates as a less disturbing take on “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”.
