Landscape With Invisible Hand is brilliant. It's basically a sci-fi exploration of colonialism - aliens have arrived, dominated all of humanity (and, more relevantly to the story, the US), and now the US is a third world backwater with a few floating city-islands where the aliens and some richer humans live. The aliens strip our culture for parts, mimicking the things they like & replacing everything they don't.

The movie seems to have gotten a mixed reception, and I think understandably so - you really have to come into it with the understanding that this is a movie about colonialism. It's not really a traditional adventure movie or anything of that sort; there's no real triumph to it. It's about normal, impoverished people doing their best to survive in a world that exists to exploit them for the benefit of their betters.
