Perfumed with Mint

About This Movie

Perfumed with Mint offers a unique blend of surrealism and grounded drama. Alaa, a doctor, is drawn back into the life of an old friend, Mahdy, who faces this bizarre bodily sprouting of mint. It's not just about the mint, though; it's about the decay of their surroundings and the impending danger that looms like a shadow. The film's atmosphere is thick, almost oppressive at times, enhanced by practical effects that make Mahdy's mint condition eerily tangible. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to dwell in the discomfort and absurdity of their situation. Performances are raw, with an undercurrent of desperation that resonates. There’s something distinctive about how it explores friendship against surreal circumstances.
