Adorable and Off-kilter Feature I Want to Live on Mars screens at the 2024 New Jersey International Film Festival!

by Kevin Reardon
published 2024-06-01

With I Want to Live on Mars, Mariya Somova has written and directed an adorable, off-kilter and poignant film about people just trying to find their place in the world. The film is off-putting, and I mean that in the best possible way, as it follows a group of loners who live in a strange, abandoned town, left to their devices. What’s beautiful is the way that Somova sets the scene, placing a wholesome ensemble of lovable characters in a delipidated setting where they can do as they please. The film, for lack of a better genre category, is a hang out film, through and through. We watch a variety of characters, the young Pickle, the old Mike, Breezy, her mother, and others as they live a quiet and simple life among each other. The plot that eventually reveals itself is one of escape, wherein Pickles and Breezy become quick friends and decide they want to run away together. What leads to this is a series of beautifully shot pieces of human connection, where characters start alone and eventually find one another. It is an absolutely beautifully shot film that takes full advantage of its location, tracking its characters through the woods, abandoned households, and endless roads that seem to go nowhere.
