Molecules

About This Movie

Molecules is an introspective piece, capturing a city's stillness during a time of chaos. Filmed in Venice, Segre uses the empty, almost haunting landscapes to reflect on personal history and loss. The documentary feels intimate, like a diary, with the city serving as both backdrop and character. Segre’s memories of his father, a chemist, add a poignant layer, blending science with nostalgia. The pacing is contemplative, inviting viewers to absorb each frame. There's little in the way of flashy effects, but the real beauty lies in the quiet moments and the way they resonate. It’s a thoughtful exploration of memory and place, leaving a lingering impression long after the credits roll.
