Fly Away with Me

About This Movie

So, 'Fly Away with Me' dives into this heavy theme of prison abolition, but it does it in a really unique way—through the voice of a prison drone. It’s a fascinating take on state surveillance, and the use of fireworks as a form of protest adds an engaging layer of irony and rebellion. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, which contrasts sharply with its intense subject matter. The performances are more about the atmosphere they create than flashy acting; it’s all very grounded. It’s not just about what you see, but what you feel—the underlying tension and the haunting mantra of 'surveil, contain, protect' lingers long after the credits roll. There's something about its experimental nature that makes it stand apart.

This film is a bit of a rarity; it hasn’t seen much in the way of physical format releases, making it a unique piece for collectors interested in contemporary political cinema. The thematic depth and experimental style attract a niche audience, but those who appreciate its distinct approach often seek it out. As a collector, you might find this title intriguing for its thoughtful commentary and artistic execution. Its scarcity adds to the allure, so if you come across it, it's worth considering.
