About This Movie

Leech (2021) is an intriguing documentary by Bahman Kiarostami that immerses you in a rather unusual subject matter. The film's pacing feels almost contemplative, drawing you into its world slowly but surely. Kiarostami’s approach is restrained, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate yet slightly surreal. It’s fascinating how he captures the delicate interplay of nature and humanity, all while using practical effects that lend an air of authenticity. The performances, though subtle, carry a weight that stays with you. It's not a conventional film; it asks you to engage with it on a deeper level, making you reflect on the themes of coexistence and the unseen connections we share with our environment. There’s a distinctiveness here that’s hard to pin down but definitely leaves an impression.
