Currents

About This Movie

So 'Currents' dives into this fascinating intersection of architecture and nature, you know? It captures these plants, like Dracaena and Philodendron, as they cling to their space in the remnants of socialist modernist buildings from the seventies and eighties. There's a certain melancholy to it—these green beings become the last witnesses of a bygone era. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, as it lets you soak in the visuals and think about the passage of time. It's not just about the plants; it's about memory and the layers of human experience intertwined with a physical space. I appreciated how it almost feels like a character study of the plants themselves, holding their ground in a world that’s rapidly changing.
