Fish

About This Movie

Fish is one of those films that lingers in your mind, almost haunting in a way. It's got this almost surreal atmosphere, with the blending of Sarah's personal struggles and the surreal transformation into something more aquatic. The practical effects, especially with her skin, are quite fascinating—they evoke a rawness that mirrors her inner turmoil. The pacing feels deliberately slow, allowing you to really absorb her emotional journey. And then there's the dynamic between her and her estranged father, which adds layers to her quest for identity. It’s distinct in how it tackles themes of isolation and transformation, making the viewer reflect on the depths of connection we often overlook.

Fish has a limited release and is often overshadowed by more mainstream titles, making it somewhat of a hidden gem. Due to the unique themes and practical effects, collector interest is gradually increasing, especially among those appreciating indie cinema. There have been a few formats released, but original copies are scarce, which adds to the allure for collectors looking for something different in their collections.
