Parolé

About This Movie

Parolé is this intriguing mix of a documentary and experimental film from '93, you know? It really digs into the darker corners of sexuality, drawing from Havelock Ellis's case study. The atmosphere is tense, almost claustrophobic, reflecting the internal struggles of its characters. The pacing is a bit offbeat, which can be jarring, but it works for the themes at play. It’s about how society, through medicine and psychology, has framed sexual identity, often linking it to criminality. The performances feel raw and unrefined, almost like a performance art piece. There's also something about the practical effects that adds an unsettling layer to its narrative. Definitely a conversation starter in any collection.
