Per Speculum

About This Movie

Per Speculum is an interesting little documentary that draws from the Epistles to the Corinthians, using the metaphor of a mirror to explore our fragmented reality. Adrian Paci, the Romanian artist behind this work, manages to create a tone that's both contemplative and unsettling. The pacing feels deliberately measured, allowing you to sit with the themes of distortion and incompleteness. It’s not your conventional documentary; there's a sense of the poetic in how the visuals interplay with the narrative. The practical effects, though subtle, evoke a disquieting sense of familiar alienation. Paci's performance shines, navigating complex ideas with a raw, authentic presence—it’s a film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
