Normal Subjects is an intriguing slice of documentary that dives into the oddities of brain-mapping and the long-abandoned ideas of phrenology. It's shot in these brief, 3-minute loops, showcasing various subjects engaged in their mundane routines, which seems to contrast sharply with the lofty ambitions of scientific inquiry. The pacing's a bit jarring, but it adds to the unsettling atmosphere. It feels almost clinical, yet there's a rawness in the subjects' performances. The practical effects are minimal, almost non-existent, which somehow amplifies the focus on the human experience. It’s not flashy, but its distinctive approach to exploring the intersection of science and the everyday is quite thought-provoking.
