Ménage

About This Movie

Ménage (2021) dives into the murky waters of politics with a dreamlike narrative that feels both disconcerting and compelling. The pacing is intentionally erratic, embodying a sense of unease that mirrors the corrupt dealings of its three protagonists. You get this raw, almost tactile atmosphere, thanks in part to the practical effects that contribute to the unsettling tone. The performances are layered and intense, really bringing out the themes of betrayal and moral decay. It’s interesting how it pays homage to Brazilian marginal cinema, capturing that gritty edge. It’s not your typical thriller; it challenges you, pulls you in and leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
