Idling

About This Movie

Idling is this intriguing piece that’s hard to pin down, almost like a lost gem waiting to be rediscovered. The atmosphere has this raw, gritty vibe that pulls you in, and it seems to play with silence and sound in a way that really heightens the tension. Pacing is deliberately slow, which might not sit well with everyone, but it gives you time to soak in its layers. The practical effects have a certain rough charm, adding to that overall sense of reality, you feel like you're in the moment. It’s all about the characters and their quiet struggles, almost meditative in its execution, making it distinct from typical genre fare.

Idling's distribution seems a bit spotty, with only a few releases on obscure formats over the years, making it somewhat scarce. There’s definitely a niche interest among collectors, particularly for those who appreciate the unconventional storytelling and atmospheric approach. It’s worth noting that some editions contain unique cover art that reflects the film's tone, which adds to the allure for dedicated enthusiasts.
