Phalène

About This Movie

Phalène is a curious exploration of twin sisterhood, where the atmosphere feels dense and almost claustrophobic. Their synchronized existence is both beautiful and unsettling. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sink into their world, which is filled with both tenderness and tension. The themes of isolation and the struggle for individuality are woven throughout, and it all unfolds in a way that feels like a dream—often surreal. While the director remains unknown, the performances are striking, capturing the subtle nuances of their relationship. It’s the practical effects that add an unexpected layer, presenting their isolation in a tangible way. There's a distinctiveness to how it portrays a bond that can turn both comforting and confining.
