About This Movie

Chrysanthemums is an intriguing exploration of adolescence, framed in a long, hot summer day that feels both languid and suffocating. The film dives deep into the minds of three teens, each grappling with their own mental health demons amidst razor-sharp dialogue and poignant moments of vulnerability. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as their choices edge closer to the grim conclusion of their suicide pact. The performances are strikingly raw—there's an authenticity in their portrayals that resonates well beyond the screen. While the director remains unknown, the film’s atmosphere is palpably heavy, marked by a sense of isolation that lingers with you. It’s this blend of humor and despair that gives it a unique flavor.
