Blouma

About This Movie

So, this one, "Blouma," has a real raw edge to it. It's a documentary, but it feels more like a wandering dream or maybe a fever dream of some sort. You get this sense of loss and nostalgia—Peanuts, the central figure, is really just searching for something that almost feels ungraspable. The streets of Rouen at night carry this haunting atmosphere, and you can almost feel the weight of his memories. The pacing is slow but deliberate, giving you time to absorb the landscape of a city that’s really gone through its own transformation. It's not flashy; there are no big effects—just the realness of Peanuts’ journey. His search for that notebook adds this layer of connection to a lost friend, which makes it deeply personal. It’s distinct because it captures a forgotten part of Rouen, making you reflect on memory and loss.
