Above the Weather

About This Movie

Above the Weather intrigues with its unique blend of a road movie and the melodrama typical of 50s Hollywood. The industrial backdrop of Romania, with its worn oil pumps and rusting gas tanks, really sets a haunting mood. You can feel the grit and grime, which contrasts nicely with the emotional highs and lows of the narrative. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing moments of introspection that draw you in. Performances are solid, capturing that raw vulnerability. It also dives into themes of alienation and longing, making you think about the connections we crave. There are interesting nods to Doug, which adds layers for those familiar with the trilogy. It's not your usual fare, but there's something distinctly atmospheric about it.
