About This Movie

So, 'Landing' is this intriguing little documentary by Chantal Partamian. It has this raw, poetic vibe, really pulls you in with its black and white visuals. The pacing's contemplative, almost meditative. You feel the weight of this long-distance relationship, which isn't always easy to capture, but here it works. There's a real sense of longing and patience, as the film navigates the complexities of queer identity and love in transit. The fragments of their connection, shown through everyday moments, create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and universal. It's distinctive not just in its storytelling but in the way it visually represents those in-between states we often feel. It’s a short watch, but it leaves an impression.
