At Dawn: Good Manners To Look Good

About This Movie

At Dawn: Good Manners To Look Good is quite the trip, you know? It’s this hypnotic and surreal experience where Anthony Gopaul is really just left alone with his thoughts in a living room that feels both familiar and unsettling. There's a lot going on with his hallucinations—imagery that really plays with masculinity and spirituality. The pacing is deliberately slow, which lets you soak in the atmosphere and the layers of his emotional state. It’s not your typical narrative; you’re sort of drifting through his psyche. The practical effects, however subtle, really enhance the dreamlike quality, making you question what's real and what isn't. It stands out for its unique exploration of inner turmoil and identity.

This film has had a limited release, which makes it a bit tricky to find. Collector interest has been growing, especially among those who appreciate more experimental cinema. Formats have varied, but there hasn't been a widespread home release, so copies can be scarce. If you’re into indie films that challenge traditional storytelling, this one's certainly worth keeping an eye out for.
