Obelisk

About This Movie

Obelisk (2020), while shrouded in some mystery with an unknown director and genres, takes inspiration from the experimental styles of William Raban and Johann Lurf. Its tone feels meditative, almost trance-like, a slow build that invites you to lose yourself in the visuals. There's a real emphasis on atmosphere here, with practical effects that seem to ground the film amidst its more abstract storytelling. You're not really watching a traditional narrative; it’s more of an experience, a series of impressions that linger. It has this intriguing pacing that might not appeal to everyone, but if you’re into the more avant-garde, it’s a piece that carves its own niche.

Obelisk has been released primarily in limited formats, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. Its art-house style and experimental nature tend to attract a niche audience, which adds a particular level of intrigue to ownership. Given the lack of widespread distribution, finding a copy can be a bit of a treasure hunt, appealing to those who appreciate the more underground aspects of cinema.
