Body Rice

About This Movie

Body Rice offers a slow-burn exploration of isolation and connection, set against the stark beauty of the Alentejo. The film’s atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive, mirroring the harsh landscape that defines Katrin’s experience. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to sit with her emotional journey, and the performances feel raw and unfiltered. It’s not about flashy effects; instead, it leans into the gritty reality of its themes—rehabilitation, humanity, and the struggle against one’s environment. There’s something haunting in the way the natural world interacts with the characters, making it distinctive in its approach to storytelling. A quieter piece, but it speaks volumes if you’re willing to listen.
