My Throat, My Air

About This Movie

So, 'My Throat, My Air' is a really intriguing piece, right? It’s set in Munich’s Westend, and you've got this mix of the mundane and the surreal. Ulli Lommel, who's had quite the career with his connections to Fassbinder and Warhol, is at the center, but it’s not just about him. The film skips around the typical biographical format, opting instead to dive into the chaotic and odd rhythms of family life. The pacing feels unhurried, almost dreamlike at times, letting you soak in the atmosphere. It’s not flashy, but the raw, intimate performances give it a distinctive feel. The practical effects are minimal, focusing more on the real-life horror of existence in that household. It’s a slice of life that feels uniquely Lommel, both disarming and oddly compelling.
