Mermaid

About This Movie

Mermaid (2012) presents a fascinating exploration of the oddity surrounding taxidermy, wrapped in a performance art package. The film, with its ethereal tone and surreal atmosphere, dives into the bizarre relationship between the artist and the taxidermy fish. It’s not your typical narrative—more of an experiential piece, really—where the pacing ebbs and flows like water. The practical effects, especially the soft sculptures, create this tactile intimacy that draws you in. It’s distinctive in its reflection on culture and personal connection to art, making it a thought-provoking watch.

Mermaid is somewhat elusive in terms of availability, having limited releases and a niche audience that appreciates experimental art films. Its rarity in physical formats adds a layer of intrigue for collectors, especially those who enjoy performance art or unconventional narratives. The film's unique themes and artwork make it a curious piece for those looking to expand their collection beyond mainstream cinema.
