Welcome back to Complete Disarray, where we dive deep into the most random topics. I'm your host Jamie Ray, and today I'm joined by the incomparable Super Gus to unpack one of the most haunting space odysseys ever put to film - the Swedish Danish masterpiece "Aniara."
Imagine boarding a luxury spaceship for what should be a routine three-week journey to Mars, only to find yourself set adrift in the cosmic void with no way home. That's just the beginning of this remarkable meditation on humanity's relationship with Earth, technology, and our own mortality. Released in 2018, "Aniara" takes us on a journey that spans decades, following a "Mimarobe" - an operator of an AI system designed to comfort passengers with memories of Earth - as hope gradually unravels aboard a ship that becomes both sanctuary and tomb.
Today, Super Gus and I will explore how this film transforms a simple evacuation narrative into an unflinching examination of human nature when faced with the prospect of eternal drift. We'll dive into its themes of environmental collapse, artificial consciousness, and the various ways humans cope with existential dread - from fertility cults to virtual reality escapism.
So, strap in for a conversation that's equal parts philosophical journey and psychological horror as we chart the course of humanity's last voyage among the stars. The Aniara awaits.
