About This Movie

Bardo unfolds in a hauntingly atmospheric way, weaving themes of grief and identity with a slow, almost dreamlike pace. Seon's journey is both eerie and introspective, giving us a glimpse into the emotional turmoil of loss, interspersed with elements of the supernatural. The practical effects used to depict her mother's legacy are raw and unsettling, adding to the film's unsettling tone. The performances, particularly Seon's, are quite layered, capturing a genuine struggle between skepticism and acceptance of her family's shamanic lineage. It's a film that lingers, challenging the viewer to ponder the boundaries between life, death, and rebirth, all while steeped in a sense of cultural mystique.
