Being/بودن (2019) captures a very raw, almost haunting atmosphere. The story centers on a young boy named Being, who faces the stark reality of his existence or lack thereof. It’s not your typical romance, more like a meditation on life and death, love and loss. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection that really deepen the narrative. Practical effects are minimal yet effective, using simple but evocative visuals to convey the boy's struggles. The performances have a subtlety that’s refreshing; you can feel the weight of emotions without overacting. There’s a distinct sense of fragility throughout, making it resonate in unexpected ways. It’s a film that sticks with you, lingering long after the credits roll.
