Mute

2018 · dir. Duncan Jones

What they share

Both films are directed by Duncan Jones, and they sit in Mystery / Science Fiction / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Source Code, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mute is

Berlin streets at dusk, neon reflecting off wet pavement, a distant hum of a hovercar. A mute bartender's girlfriend vanishes, his past surfaces, and the city's underworld beckons. Duncan Jones revisits familiar sci-fi terrain with mixed results.
