Avanti

About This Movie

So, 'Avanti' (2019) is this interesting exploration of grief through two divergent characters, Louise and Manu. The atmosphere has this surreal quality, especially with Louise’s unique way of moving through life—backward, which is pretty symbolic in its own right. The pacing feels deliberate, giving us time to sit with their emotions, and it really dives deep into how people handle loss. The performances are nuanced; you can really feel the weight of their struggles. Plus, the way they depict this discreet community adds another layer to the narrative. It’s not a typical drama, and that’s what sets it apart. Definitely has a distinct tone that lingers with you.
