Le début des choses is a curious little piece that kind of lingers in your mind. The tone is introspective, almost dreamlike, which really pulls you into its world. It has this slow pacing that can feel meditative, but it allows the themes of transformation and the passage of time to breathe. The practical effects, while not flashy, add to its charm, giving it a tactile quality. Performances are understated but resonate; you might find yourself reflecting on them long after. It’s distinctive in how it embraces ambiguity, leaving you to piece together its meaning rather than serving it on a platter.
This film has a bit of a shadowy presence in the collector community, with few prints available and information often scarce. It's mostly seen in niche festivals or small screenings, making it a unique find for those who appreciate under-the-radar cinema. As for formats, it doesn’t seem to have much in the way of physical media releases, so it’s one of those titles that's more likely to be discussed among collectors for its elusive nature.
