Herd (2017) is a curious piece that blends the raw energy of music with a surreal atmosphere. You’ve got these jubilant figures racing through the forest, naked, which immediately sets a tone of uninhibited freedom. The pacing is interesting; it ebbs and flows, almost mimicking the rhythm of the soundtrack. The two men carrying a sheep adds this layer of absurdity and intrigue—what are they up to? The practical effects here are minimal but effective, letting the natural beauty of the forest steal the show. The performances are almost theatrical, lending to the film's dreamlike quality. It’s distinctive, for sure, and lingers with you long after the credits roll, making you ponder the themes of liberation and the absurdity of life.
