Control

About This Movie

Control is one of those documentaries that plays with your perception of space and time. It meanders between Singapore and The Netherlands, creating this almost dreamlike exploration of geography and culture. The pacing has a contemplative quality, inviting you to linger on the visuals and the thoughts they provoke. What I find particularly striking is how it captures the fragmented nature of consciousness—like, it feels raw, almost disjointed, yet there's a beauty in that chaos. The practical effects are minimal but effective, emphasizing the film’s abstract vibe. You’re not just watching a film; you’re experiencing a meditative journey through various layers of history and culture. It’s a tapestry of ideas rather than a straightforward narrative.

Transcontinental filming adds unique depth.Abstract approach may not suit all tastes.Focus on themes of geography and fragmented consciousness.
