Damascene

About This Movie

So, this 2017 flick, 'Damascene,' dives into the complexities of old relationships. Frank and Inez, with their biking through London, unravel some dormant tales and hidden truths. The use of GoPro footage adds this raw, almost voyeuristic touch, giving it that intimate feel you don’t see often. It’s like you’re along for the ride, with those little conversations shedding light on their past. The pacing feels natural, almost documentary-like, but it carries emotional weight. It plays around with themes of nostalgia and unresolved feelings, which is always a rich ground for character exploration. Not your typical romantic plot, that's for sure.

This title doesn’t have a wide physical release, and I’ve noticed it’s been somewhat elusive on streaming platforms too, which makes it a bit of a hidden gem. Collectors have shown interest due to its unique storytelling style and the practical effects of the GoPro footage, capturing raw, real moments. It's not the easiest to find, but those who appreciate character-driven narratives might find it worth the hunt.
