Death of a Poet

About This Movie

Death of a Poet is a contemplative piece that captures the essence of a poet's struggle against urban decay. Set against the backdrop of Dhaka's polluted skyline, the film delves into Abid Haider’s profound connection to nature, his heartache over the loss of clarity in the world, and his longing for an untainted night sky. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to savor each moment of introspection, and the atmosphere is heavy with a sense of yearning. The cinematography uses practical effects to evoke the murkiness of the city, which contrasts beautifully with Haider's idealistic visions. It's distinct for its lyrical, almost poetic dialogue—every word feels chosen for its weight. The performances are understated yet deeply affecting, drawing you into the inner turmoil of the protagonist.
