Matter

About This Movie

Matter (2018) is this intriguing dive into the psyche of a man named Mark, who’s on a quest for self-discovery. The atmosphere is surreal, almost dream-like, with a pacing that allows you to really sink into his subconscious explorations. There's a real sense of introspection, and I appreciate how it tackles themes of identity and existence. The practical effects, though not flashy, add an organic feel that enhances the overall experience. Performances are subtle yet striking, drawing you deeper into Mark's journey. It’s distinctive in the way it blends the abstract with the personal, leaving you with more questions than answers, which I think is what they aim for.

Matter is somewhat of an enigma in the collector's market, as details about its director and production are scarce. The film has primarily circulated on limited release formats, making it a bit of a hidden gem for those who enjoy atmospheric and psychological narratives. Interest among collectors seems to be growing, particularly for those who appreciate films that challenge conventional storytelling and focus on the inner workings of the human mind.
