So, 'El estado de las cosas' is quite an intriguing documentary, really. It dives into this house being emptied out, capturing the essence of an auction in Flores. The atmosphere is charged with tension as people swarm in, each vying for their piece of history—objects once belonging to the deceased, exiles, and those who've vanished. It's fascinating how the film showcases this raw human instinct to claim what's left behind. The pacing is unhurried, allowing you to soak in the quiet desperation and chaos that fills the room. I found it quite distinct in how it reflects on memory and loss, using minimal practical effects yet letting the real-life interactions tell the story. The reseller's struggles are particularly noteworthy, offering a glimpse into the world of those who profit from the remnants of others' lives.
