Oblivion

About This Movie

Oblivion is a hauntingly intimate documentary that feels like a personal journey, really. Heddy Honigmann takes us back to her roots in Lima, Peru, and it’s all about memory and loss. The pacing is contemplative, allowing each moment and interview to breathe. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia, and you get a sense of how the city itself carries the weight of its forgotten stories. The irony in the lives of the people portrayed is striking—they laugh and find resilience amid hardship. It’s not flashy, but the rawness of the practical effects and genuine performances leave a lasting impact. It’s a piece that resonates, making you reflect on what we choose to remember and what we need to forget.
