A skydiver (Hugo de Sousa) crashlands in the middle of the desert and
finds his parachute has been torn. He doesn't know how he came her
exactly, and even memories of his past are sketchy. Heck, he doesn't even
know his own name, which is why it's ok when others call him Henrico later
on. But at the moment he's still alone, looking for a way out of the
desert, but since it looks the same everywhere he has no idea where to go.
Eventually he stumbles upon a payphone, but dialing 911 doesn't work, and
for the life of it he can't remember a single phone number. Eventually he
runs into Craig (Vig Norris), a big man in a bath robe and Wellingtons,
who has as little idea how he came here either, but links it to drugs as
he has a certain "habit". The two men decide to stick together
to find a way out, and soon run into an old drifter (Cameron Dye), who
might be full of mighty entertaining stories, but then runs off with their
water - and he has hinted to them that they've actually died and are in
some kind of purgatory. And the more people our two heroes meet, the more
they become convinced the drifter was actually right. But how to get out
of purgatory, and have they lived a worthy enough life to be accepted into
heaven, or is hell what they're destined for? A quite unusual
film as it tackles quite big issues in a rather comedic way, going for
punchlines at least as often as for actual revelations, but yet the movie
has its spot of drama as well. And what really makes Mister Limbo
work is that its two leads are well fleshed-out and very relatable, and
both Hugo de Sousa and Vig Norris give very likeable yet nuanced
performances. And visually the film really gets the most out of its
monotonous locations, making this one a nice and cliché-free trip into
the beyond.
