Not Flammable

About This Movie

So, 'Not Flammable' is quite the oddity. It’s this documentary that feels like it’s straddling a line between reality and mysticism, almost like a noir but in a more subdued way. The journey follows a researcher probing into the life of a photographer from the Estonian diaspora, who, by the way, drowned two decades prior. It’s eerie how the film uses the man’s leftover materials, weaving a thread of predestination that seems to haunt the researcher. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which adds to the overall unsettling atmosphere. You can really feel the weight of history and loss, enhanced by the rawness of the footage. It’s not your standard doc; there’s a distinct layer of melancholy and intrigue that pulls you in.

Unique exploration of diaspora and memory.Atmospheric and contemplative documentary style.Uses found footage to enhance the narrative.
