"The world was stunned today by the death of Diego Ricardo, the youngest person on the planet. The youngest person on earth was 18 years, 4 months, 20 days, 16 hours, and 8 minutes old."
Review: This is an excellent Sci-Fi film set in the near future where humans have stopped being able to reproduce and civilization starts to fall apart as a result. Clive Owens was great as usual as a burnt out who is asked to help transport an illegal immigrant across Britain by his ex-wife. Visceral sequences filled with super long takes really makes this future world come alive.
"I liked her. What happened?"
"She, uh, decide to Renounce."
"Renouncers? Are those the ones that kneel down for a month for salvation?"
"No. They're the Repenters. The Renouncers flagellate themselves for the forgiveness of humanity."
"Oh, right. Dating ain't what it used to be, is it, amigo?"
"Y'know that ringing in your ears? That 'eeeeeeeeee'? That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts."
