As defined in paleontology, a “Lazarus taxon” is a taxon that disappears from one or more periods of the fossil record, only to appear again later. In this new film by Denis Rovira, a man crosses the new global sea to rescue his daughter from death.
In the synopsis for the film there is the description.
We carry our dead inside.
Climate change is coming as the new engine for Apocalyptic films. These new movies won’t be Kevin Costner in Waterworld. No, no, think “The Road”. A Lazarus Taxon is a species that was once thought extinct but resurfaces again. Is this a metaphor for hope in a dark desolate future or something more ominous? What lays dormant inside the human condition that desperation may unleash? Via Twitch.
