In Madness We Believe

About This Movie

In Madness We Believe is a fascinating fusion of art and reality that dives into Anna Odell's conceptual project. The film opens on an opera stage, blending the surreal with the raw. It juggles the tension of a staged performance alongside intense, real-life events – like the police intervention at Liljeholmsbron, which feels both unsettling and thought-provoking. The pacing fluctuates, mirroring the chaos of the psychosis it depicts. The use of practical effects enhances the authenticity, pulling you into a world that feels painfully real. The performances are hauntingly intense, capturing the thin line between art and mental health crises. It’s a distinctive piece that forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about society and the human condition.
