De Djess

About This Movie

De Djess is an intriguing short that's part of Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales. Alice Rohrwacher, with a distinct style, captures that surreal blend of the mundane and the extraordinary. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to linger in the atmospheric details. There’s something almost dreamlike about the performances; they feel both real and otherworldly. Practical effects are used sparingly yet effectively, enhancing that sense of the surreal rather than overwhelming it. Themes of femininity and the nuances of everyday life are explored, making you think twice about the ordinary. It's a beautifully crafted piece, with a tone that lingers in your mind long after you’ve watched it, leaving you pondering the layers beneath the surface.
