So, ‘I Forgot What It Was I Wanted to Do’ is one of those films that really digs into the quiet tragedy of memory loss. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really gets to the heart of dementia’s impact on relationships. Wilhelm's struggle to recall that one pivotal thing feels both personal and universal. Micha, his son, is caught in this poignant tug-of-war between idealization and reality, and you can feel that tension throughout. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of stillness that amplify the emotional weight. The performances are raw and genuine, creating an intimate space for viewers to witness the fragility of their bond. There’s something distinct about its approach to exploring memory and identity that resonates long after you’ve seen it.
This film currently has a limited release, making it somewhat rare in collector circles. The lack of a well-known director or prominent cast could lead to less mainstream recognition, but its thematic depth and emotional resonance are likely to appeal to collectors interested in indie cinema. Early screenings have suggested a strong visual style, possibly making it an interesting addition for those focused on cinematic techniques in more intimate storytelling.
