Communication & Lies

About This Movie

So, 'Communication & Lies' is an interesting piece, shot entirely in black-and-white which really sets a somber tone. The film unfolds through flashbacks, giving it this layered storytelling vibe. You’ve got a cleaning woman who's basically unraveling due to some past tragedy, her self-destructive behavior is pretty raw and honest. Then there's the teacher, who feels trapped by his own suppressed emotions and his incessant calls to the council about minor issues add a quirky touch to his character. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to breathe, which enhances the emotional weight. The performances are commendable, with a stark realism that makes it a distinctive watch. It dives deep into themes of isolation and the struggle to connect, without any gloss.
