Lustlands

About This Movie

So, 'Lustlands' is quite the trip. This 2014 film drops you into the Peloponnese, where The Callas and their crew dive into making a feature. It's all about that Dionysian vibe, you know? The film doesn’t shy away from its psychedelic undertones, creating this hazy atmosphere that's equal parts dream and reality. The pacing can feel languid, much like the summer days on a farm, but it fits with the themes of exploration and connection. The practical effects add a tactile quality that feels refreshing in a world of digital overkill. Performances have this rawness that pulls you in—it's not polished, but that’s the charm. There’s a distinct pulse to it, like you’re part of their creative experiment.
