Darkness

About This Movie

Darkness (2018) dives into the murky waters of grief and obsession, centering on Nuray, who’s reeling from the loss of her partner, Farid. The film carries a somber tone, and the pacing is intentionally slow, allowing the tension to build as she delves into Firuze's diary. The atmosphere is thick with unease, making every missing page feel like a weighty burden. Themes of love, loss, and the dark corners of memory intertwine, leading to a crescendo of suspicion. While the director remains a mystery, the performances ground the narrative. It’s interesting how the film relies on practical effects to create that unsettling vibe, rather than relying on flashy visuals. A quite distinctive piece in the realm of indie crime dramas.
