Keratin

About This Movie

Keratin is one of those films that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. Directed by Charlie Jimenez, it’s this intriguing amalgamation of fantasy and music, created in partnership with the London Sinfonietta. The visuals are hauntingly beautiful, capturing the essence of grief and loss through the story of three intertwined bodies, especially the poignant connection to a lost child. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to fully absorb the atmospheric landscapes and the emotional weight of the narrative. Practical effects blend seamlessly with an ethereal score based on Gavin Higgins' folk songs, adding layers to the experience. It’s a bit unconventional, but that’s what makes it stand out in the realm of experimental cinema.
