Chi Chi (2020) navigates the dizzying highs and unsettling lows of excess. The film captures a raw, almost voyeuristic atmosphere as it follows a naive student getting drawn into a whirlwind of luxury and hedonism. The pacing feels deliberately disorienting, mirroring the protagonist's descent into a world where drugs and partying rule. There's a certain grit to the performances that lends authenticity, especially in moments of stark contrast between euphoria and despair. The cinematography plays with light and shadow, enhancing that sense of entrapment while the practical effects in some party sequences add a layer of realism. It's a captivating exploration of temptation and consequence, leaving you with a bittersweet aftertaste.
