Lumen is this intriguing slice-of-life drama that delves into the quiet agony of Franka, a woman grappling with a rare light allergy. The film paints a somber atmosphere, immersing you in her suffocating reality as she faces the prospect of losing her haven. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing viewers to really sit with Franka's emotional turmoil. The performances, particularly by the lead, are raw and resonate deeply. There’s a distinct focus on the fragility of human connections, especially through her relationship with her sister. The practical effects, while minimal, serve to heighten the sense of confinement and despair. It’s an exploration of isolation, not just physically but emotionally, which feels very pertinent even now.
