This is a dystopian black and white nightmare that seems more like an offbeat art house narrative but it's real.
SHIFTING BASE LINES is about the area around where Elon Musk is building and launching rockets into space or attempting to. Over the course of the film, we watch as the wildlife that once was in abundance is dying, the company grabs more land, and they spread litter everywhere. The people take everything in stride, but at the same time they are annoyed by some of the nonsense.
This feels like a quiet inde drama that is very dry, low key and deliberately obtuse, but the fact is this is what the Musk's neighbors are experiencing. The only difference is they see it all in color not black and white.
This is a small quiet gem of a film. While it probably won't play well for everyone, but for those who click with its sensibilities its going to be gangbusters.
