About Things That Happened to Me

About This Movie

So, 'About Things That Happened to Me' feels like a personal diary brought to life. There's this rawness to it, almost like you’re peeking into someone else's memories. It’s based on Marcelo Matthey's own writings, and the way he translates his thoughts, feelings, and mundane observations into film is intriguing. The pacing is deliberate, giving you the time to soak in the environment, the streets and beaches—there’s a certain melancholy in his strolls. I appreciate how the film captures these fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. The tone is reflective, and while the director remains unknown, the storytelling feels intimate, like a conversation with a friend. The visuals are simple but effective, adding to that diary-like quality.
