The vulgar 20th century has a lot to answer for.

Heil myself.

Mute is a futuristic film noir, which has all the makings of a cult film. Duncan Jones returns to the world he created in his 2009 feature film debut, Moon. Starring Alexander Skarsgård as a mute bartender looking for his missing girlfriend, he sets out on a journey through the underbelly of future Berlin.

My, very positive, review: hiddenremote.com/2018/02/26/mute-review-familiar-yet-unique/

It needs an entirely new genre to define it.
