Breathless

About This Movie

Breathless (2018) is a stark, haunting documentary that weaves personal tragedy with a broader social critique. Daniel Lambo’s journey is raw and intimate, the kind that really pulls you in, as he grapples with loss while uncovering the dark realities of the asbestos industry. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of each revelation to settle in with the audience. The atmosphere is often heavy, filled with a sense of urgency and despair as Lambo navigates through the remnants of his father's world. It's striking how the film contrasts personal stories with the cold machinery of industry, making it both a deeply personal and socially relevant exploration. The visuals are compelling, capturing the desolation of the waste dump in India — it’s a tough watch but one that lingers.
