P

About This Movie

P (2017) is quite the surreal dive into the psyche of a tormented scientist, who, in an effort to shed his guilt, transfers a traumatic memory into an android girl. The narrative unfolds in this dreamlike fashion, punctuated by vivid fragments of P's past, which the android starts to grasp in ways he can't anymore. It's like watching layers of memory peel away, revealing not just the science fiction elements but also a haunting exploration of regret and identity. The atmosphere is dense, almost oppressive at times, and the pacing feels intentionally slow, allowing the viewer to really sink into this peculiar world. The practical effects here do a lot for the unsettling vibe, and while the performances are understated, they carry a heavy emotional weight that lingers.
