Monologue

About This Movie

Monologue (2019) is an intriguing exploration of loss through sound and silence. The atmosphere is dense, almost haunting at times, as we follow Thomas, a sound catcher whose world crumbles when his best friend vanishes with the muse, Violet. The left ear loss symbolizes a deeper fracture in Thomas's identity, making the film's pacing feel like a slow unraveling of his psyche. There’s this raw, almost gritty quality to the performances that pull you into Thomas's isolation. The practical effects, especially around sound design, really underscore the themes of betrayal and self-discovery. It's not flashy, but it resonates on a more intimate level, and the narrative’s structure keeps you engaged without overstaying its welcome.
