Kika is a fascinating documentary that weaves together three distinct narratives while exploring the intimate spaces of beauty parlours. The pacing shifts fluidly, reflecting the lives of its subjects: Kika, the young stripper, experiences turmoil during a restless night, making her segment pulse with a raw urgency. Then there's the poignant scene in Naftalan, where the director's mother undergoes treatment for psoriasis, creating a sense of vulnerability and tenderness. Finally, the White Trash segment paints a stark contrast with its imagery of a dumping ground teeming with gulls, evoking feelings of decay and survival. The film's atmosphere is rich, and each woman's story resonates on different emotional frequencies, making it a complex yet engaging watch.
