It is Coldest in the Shade of Cages

About This Movie

So, 'It is Coldest in the Shade of Cages' is a fascinating dive into the life of Zdenko Šturman, a collector of waste that speaks volumes about nostalgia and society’s throwaway culture. His home becomes this chaotic museum of discarded items, all stacked high, creating an almost claustrophobic yet oddly poetic atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the layers of Šturman’s story - it feels meditative at times. The themes of memory and loss resonate throughout as he clings to objects that remind him of better days, which is strikingly relatable. There’s no pretentious gloss here, just raw humanity on display. And the visuals are gritty, highlighting the contrast between the beauty of the past and the reality of accumulation. Quite a unique watch, really.
