Parasol

About This Movie

Parasol (2021) captures this very subtle, almost ethereal atmosphere. It’s a meditation on solitude and memory. The protagonist’s retreat to her mother’s log cabin is beautifully shot, almost like a painting in motion. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing viewers to really feel each moment—the flicker of the fire, the whispering breeze, those striking lights filtering through the trees. It’s not just about her journey; it's about the lingering scents and echoes of her mother that surface, which many might find relatable. The performances are understated yet impactful—there’s something raw about them. The practical effects, especially the natural settings, lend a sense of authenticity that frames this exploration of loss and reconnection with the past.
