The movie does some time-hopping here and there, bringing us back to reality to show the consequences of what Dr. Flax has her encounter with Jean Charles, the film’s point of view begins to shift towards Jean Charles – her visions become the burden of the film and we begin to shift reality because of it. The setup of Nomads is fairly unique, and it’s probably the biggest draw to the film. Eventually she sees them herself, supernatural beings known as the inua that are nomads, wandering around with no home. She stumbles around, both in the present and in the past, watching as Jean Charles begins to fall into a crazy spiral after he sees a bunch of hoods in black leather stalking him. That madman, she later comes to find out, is Jean Charles (Pierce Brosnan), an anthropologist who moved to Los Angeles to settle down with his wife after being in the wilds for most of his life.Īfter Flax is involved in her altercation, she begins to see Jean Charles’ past. He raves in French, he cuts her face, and he whispers a line in her ear before he eventually dies on the table. Directed by John McTiernan (who directed Predator Flax (Leslie-Anne Down) who cares for a seemingly mentally ill patient down by the beaches. Nomads is a strange concoction of surrealism, often involved with the supernatural but deeply rooted in the ‘80s punk and bad-boy scene. A French anthropologist moves to Los Angeles and is followed by the evil spirits of an extinct tribe he once uncovered.
