Anti

About This Movie

Anti feels like a snapshot of a specific time and place, capturing the ennui of rural life in early '90s Denmark. The pacing is slow, almost languorous, giving you space to breathe with Simon as he grapples with his talent for drawing, which everyone around him dismisses. The atmosphere is heavy with a sense of confinement and longing, underscored by the football obsession of the village. The film's use of practical effects and minimalistic technique enhances its raw, almost documentary-like quality. It's really more about Simon's internal struggle and awakening, especially when he stumbles upon an American graffiti video that opens doors to a world beyond his small village. The performances are understated yet impactful, capturing the essence of young dreams stifled by societal expectations.
