Headfish

About This Movie

Headfish is a stark exploration of isolation and the weight of unfulfilled dreams, set against the backdrop of an industrial world. The ambient soundscape, dominated by Bach emanating from old speakers, creates this hauntingly melancholic atmosphere that perfectly complements Eric's monotonous existence. His life as a cow milker at the Milk Raj cooperative almost feels like a purgatorial routine, a contrast to Eryk's past ambitions in photography. There's a raw honesty in the performances, subtle yet impactful, that keeps you engaged. The pacing is unhurried, allowing the viewer to soak in the desolation and reflect on the themes of abandonment and the search for purpose. It’s an intriguing piece that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
