Person Being/in the Nature of a Human

About This Movie

So, there's this film called 'Person Being/in the Nature of a Human' from 2018, and it’s pretty unique. It dives into a surreal narrative where a deceased woman's dreams intertwine with a man who’s, strangely enough, born from a duck's egg. The whole jungle setting adds this layer of isolation and whimsy, and you really feel the tension in their relationship. The pacing's slow, but it’s intentional, kind of like a dream itself, where time bends. The themes of identity and longing are heavy, and it’s interesting to see how they express their wishes to become each other. Visually, it leans on practical effects that lend a tangible feel to the fantasy, which is refreshing. Definitely one of those films that stick with you, even if it's a bit odd.
