About This Movie

So, 'Me and Mr. Merhige' dives into the mind of Miguel Alejandro Marquez, a film school student, who's got this deep fascination with E Elias Merhige's films. You feel the atmosphere shift as he passionately explains what makes Merhige's work tick for him. There's a rawness to it, like you're peeking into his creative journey. The pacing meanders a bit, but it’s intentional, allowing you to soak in his thoughts and reflections. Miguel’s musings touch on themes of identity and artistic struggle, which are pretty relatable. And while it's all documentary, the way they incorporate clips from Merhige's films ties it together nicely, creating a distinct, almost personal connection to the auteur's style.
