A Lot of Sorrow is an intriguing exploration of performance art and music, blending the raw emotion of the National's sound with Ragnar Kjartansson's unique vision. The film stretches the band's song into a sprawling, almost hypnotic experience that plays with repetition and duration—it's a ballad that unfolds over time rather than just a straightforward performance. You get this fascinating interplay of melancholy and absurdity, where the mundane becomes profound. The setting is stark yet immersive, accentuating the band’s somber yet captivating vibe. The whole thing feels like a meditation on sorrow, turning a brief moment into something that lingers—definitely not your average concert film, it invites you to sit with your feelings in a way that's both disarming and oddly comforting.
