forms of forgetting

About This Movie

So, 'forms of forgetting' is a bit of a slow burn, you know? It dives into the weight of memory and loss with this haunting atmosphere. Joaquin, played with a subtlety that really hits you, returns to his grandmother's house, which is on the verge of disappearing. The abandoned setting is almost a character in itself—echoes of the past, the dust motes in the sunlight, it’s all very evocative. The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality, pulling you into Joaquin's psyche as he grapples with grief. And then there’s that inherited item that goes missing—it’s a clever plot device that really deepens the theme of what we cling to. Overall, it’s more about the journey through memory than a straightforward story. Quite distinctive in its approach, for sure.
