The pacing feels almost dreamlike, with long lingering shots that capture the essence of the musician's introspective journey. The chemistry between the leads, especially the French actress, seems genuine, almost like a secret between them. It explores themes of love, loss, and the harshness of reality, which gives the film a weighty undertone. The practical effects are minimal, yet it makes good use of natural settings, enhancing that feeling of isolation. If you’re into subtle performances and atmospheric storytelling, this one definitely gives you something to think about.
