An Approximation of their Barbarous Manners

About This Movie

An Approximation of their Barbarous Manners is a curious piece from 2021 that pulls you into Tangier's moody streets just before the pandemic. It follows the disappearance of Bruce Glover, a seasoned actor known for his roles in classic films like Chinatown. The atmosphere is thick, almost claustrophobic, as the film explores themes of isolation and the fleeting nature of fame. The pacing leans on the slow side, allowing you to fully absorb the tension and uncertainty. There's a rawness to the performances, particularly Glover's, which adds depth to the narrative. It feels distinct in how it melds reality with the film industry’s surreal nature. Definitely a film that lingers long after the credits roll.
