Hirudo, set to release in 2024, is a haunting exploration of memory and existence. The protagonist, Jo, navigates through her city, lingering in places that blur the line between reality and reminiscence. There's this palpable sense of loss, heightened by her ritualistic care for leeches, the Hirudo medicinalis, which adds a unique layer—both eerie and oddly therapeutic. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, drawing you into Jo's internal struggle. The film leans heavily on atmosphere; each setting feels infused with an emotional weight. The absence of a known director adds an air of mystery, and the performances promise to delve deep into the human experience of letting go. It's distinctive in its approach to life and afterlife—a slow burn that leaves you reflecting long after.
