In the background, you can hear what sounds like ‘Through The Valley’ play, hinting at plenty.

No, it lures you into feeling a sense of foreboding right off the bat with audio clips before launching us into some beautifully cool-toned aerial shots. The film doesn’t start you immediately in the action. We watch her painstakingly try to figure out her situation but, it doesn’t take long for her to figure out the significance of the countdown and how she came to be trapped in these tubes. On her arm is strapped a bracelet with a countdown. Upon awakening, Lisa wakes up in a tube dressed in a wetsuit. Things escalate and then we cut to black. However, at the last moment, she relents before accepting a car ride from an unknown man ( Peter Franzén). In MEANDER, we meet Lisa (Gaia Weiss) laying in the middle of the road, seemingly hoping to have someone run over her. The film stars Gaia Weiss (“ La Révolution“) and Peter Franzén ( Heart of a Lion). MEANDER is directed and written by Mathieu Turi. We are kept on our toes and feel the tension she does as she must survive and the film itself doesn’t miss a beat to make sure our hearts are racing with hers until it reaches its conclusion.
#MEANDER MEANS SERIES#
In Mathieu Turi’s MEANDER, we are taken through Lisa’s journey as she awakens to find herself trapped in a series of tubes. However, we can’t meander or else we will be filled with regret over what we’ve lost. A thing that we sometimes wander aimlessly through, whether it’s due to not knowing what we want, losing something that kept us grounded, or trying to reconnect with why we should continue to be here.
