In Order Not to Be Here

About This Movie

So this one, 'In Order Not to Be Here', is really something. It’s a documentary that kind of floats through the eerie atmosphere of suburban America during a night flight. The film captures this raw feeling of hysteria, like you can almost feel the tension in the air – it’s unsettling, in a good way. The pacing is slow but deliberate, allowing these moments of surveillance and paranoia to seep in. You don’t really have a delineated narrative or a clear director's voice, which adds to the authenticity. It feels real, you know? The practical effects aren’t flashy, but they work to enhance that sense of unease. It’s definitely distinct in how it approaches its themes of observation and control without being overtly dramatic.
