Conjectures

About This Movie

So, 'Conjectures' from 2013 is this intriguing piece that kind of meanders in its storytelling. It's all about an animal that literally bumps into itself, which sounds quirky, right? The tone feels a bit surreal, almost dreamlike, and the pacing is leisurely, letting themes of ambition and disillusionment unfold gradually. You can't help but appreciate the practical effects, which have this raw charm that adds to its uniqueness. The performances are understated but layered, capturing the essence of existential weariness. It’s definitely one of those films that leaves you pondering long after it's over, not for everyone, but it sticks with you in its own odd way.

'Conjectures' has a bit of a niche following, likely due to its unique plot and the ambiguity surrounding its director and genre. Formats are somewhat limited, with a few indie releases on DVD, but the film hasn’t made a jump to Blu-ray yet, which might add to its allure for collectors. Fans of experimental cinema seem to appreciate it for its unconventional storytelling, but it’s still very much under the radar, making it a curious find in any collector's library.
