Deficiency

About This Movie

Deficiency is a gritty exploration of conflict within one's self and society. Set against a backdrop of 1990s France, the film weaves a chilling narrative of Roland Resse, a solitary figure grappling with the venomous ideology of a fascist colleague. The tension between his dark influences and the comforting presence of his landlady creates this haunting atmosphere. The pacing feels deliberate, almost heavy, drawing you deeper into Roland's turmoil. Performances are raw, especially the moments where Roland's inner demons clash with his affection for the landlady. The practical effects, while not overly flashy, serve the film’s emotional weight. It’s the moral complexity that stands out, making you reflect long after the credits roll.
