So, there's this film called 'Fish' from 2005 that kinda flies under the radar. It's about Carsten and Louise, this couple grappling with their dinner choices at a fancy fish restaurant. The tension really builds around Carsten's anxiety about fish bones, which adds this quirky layer to their relationship. The pacing is leisurely, almost reflective, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere of the restaurant and couple's dynamics. It touches on themes of choice and discomfort in a subtle way while the performances feel genuine, making it a slice-of-life piece that’s oddly charming. It's not your typical fare, and the unknown direction gives it a unique edge – definitely a conversation starter in a collection.
The film has had limited circulation, which makes it somewhat of a rarity for collectors. Its unknown director adds an air of mystery, and I’ve noticed it doesn’t pop up often at festivals or retrospectives. There's definitely a niche audience that appreciates its understated charm, making it an interesting find for those who enjoy collecting offbeat cinema.
