Now

About This Movie

NOW is a haunting piece that lingers in your mind long after viewing. Its fragmented structure and stark imagery create an unsettling atmosphere, evoking feelings of desolation and loss. Akerman's choice of layering sound—from urban noise to haunting melodies—immerses viewers in a world that feels both distant and familiar. The pacing is deliberate, allowing each image and sound to resonate. It’s not your typical narrative film; it's an exploration of absence and presence, life amid ruins. The sheer scale of the installation with its seven channels demands attention, making it a distinctive experience that stands apart in contemporary art cinema.

When it comes to collectors, NOW is quite an interesting piece due to its limited release and unique format. It's primarily available as a video installation, which can make traditional home viewing a bit rare. Most copies are found in museum collections or special screenings. This lack of physical formats adds a layer of intrigue for collectors, often driving interest in artworks that reflect Akerman's profound themes and experimental techniques.
