Mycelium Memory

About This Movie

So, 'Mycelium Memory' is this intriguing drama that weaves together personal and historical narratives. Fern returns to her childhood home, and the atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and the eerie presence of her father's memories - a Vietnam vet, no less. The house itself feels like a character, with fungi creeping in, almost as if it’s wanting to share its own stories. The pacing has a dreamlike quality, shifting between past and present, and you can't help but feel the weight of Fern’s family history. The relationship with her boyfriend, Thee, adds this layer of complexity. It’s like watching a slow unraveling of both their relationship and the familial threads that bind them. The performances are subtle yet packed with emotion, and the practical effects lend an organic feel to the exploration of memory and trauma. A distinctive piece, for sure.
