About This Movie

Change (2016) dives into this bizarre intersection of life and death with a surreal yet relatable lens. Natsuko and Gomuo's world shatters when they encounter a dying woman whose fate hinges on a peculiar condition. The tone oscillates between dark humor and existential contemplation, creating an unsettling atmosphere that keeps you engaged. The pacing is interesting; it feels deliberate, almost dragging at times, which adds to the tension. Performances are solid, with a rawness that really captures the absurdity of the situation. It’s distinctive for how it blends the everyday with the outlandish, raising questions about mortality and desire in a way that lingers long after the credits roll.

Change has had a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, primarily due to its limited release and the absence of a well-known director. It's not widely available in traditional formats, making it a bit of a hidden gem for those interested in unconventional narratives. The film's unique premise and tone have garnered a niche following, and as such, it has become a curiosity among collectors who appreciate the surreal and the absurd in cinema.
