You don’t want to ride the Wrinkle Wagon. That’s the vehicle that transports elderly people out of town when they are forced into exile in the realist dystopia of The Blue Trail.
In the new film from Brazilian writer-director Gabriel Mascaro, the autocratic government has decided that in order to improve productivity, they must remove the elderly from everyday life so that younger individuals no longer have to care for them. “It’s not a movie about a gadget or technology that disrupts the present,” Mascaro tells Inverse. “It’s about a cultural change that normalizes elderly people being arrested and taken to a senior colony.”
