THE END OF TIME
114 minutes, documentary, color
A film by Peter Mettler
Peter Mettler’s enthralling, mind-bending new documentary is a tour de force that challenges our conception of time – and perhaps the very fabric of our existence.
With stunning cinematography and a knack for capturing astonishing moments, The End of Timetravels the planet – from the CERN particle accelerator outside Geneva to the lava flows of Hawaii; from a disintegrating Detroit where Henry Ford built his first factory to the tree where Buddha was enlightened. Both mind-expanding and eerily familiar, Mettler’s provocative film explores the links between renewal and destruction, between primordial mysticism and the furthest reaches of modern science, giving the viewer a transcendent cinematic experience.
