Do You Feel Nervous When I Approach You

About This Movie

This 2021 documentary, shrouded in mystery with its unknown director, captures the raw essence of isolation during a pivotal moment in our recent history. The film weaves together imagery of a desolate city, hauntingly empty streets, and the intimate reflections of its subjects. Each scene feels like a slow burn, allowing the viewer to really sit with the anxiety and uncertainty that defines their experience. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, pulling you into the internal landscapes of its characters. It’s distinctive for its unfiltered portrayal of emotional isolation, a unique take on community in a time when connection felt both necessary and impossible. The practical effects are subtle, more about atmosphere than gimmickry, and the performances, though unscripted, resonate deeply.
