cinematic shorts | Phlegethon


For those of you who are unfamiliar with Greek methodology, Phlegethon was one of the five rivers in the burning underworld that is Hades. Phlegethon is described as a river of blood that boils souls, that consists of heinous mortals whom have committed crimes of violence against their fellow men. Well, Russian filmmaker, Vadim Vatagin, took it upon himself to create a real-life visualization for the methodological place that is Phelgethon and I am in awe by how amazing this film is. The film is self-explanatory but Vadim invites viewers on a suspenseful journey that tunnels a different meaning for the term afterlife. It's trippy. It's enticing. It's brilliant. I can assure you that a mental orgasm awaits you upon viewing the short-film, Phlegethon. Please check it out below.
