PÓLEN

About This Movie

Pólen is intriguing, blending drama, fantasy, and horror in a way that feels very atmospheric. The visuals, especially the giant monster floating ominously over Blütendorf, are haunting, and the practical effects give it a tactile feel that digital can't replicate. The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality; moments of tension are interspersed with quieter, introspective scenes that really explore Ademir's descent into madness. The themes of sanity under siege resonate deeply, especially as the city itself, with its blooms, becomes a character in its own right. Baptista's direction creates a palpable sense of dread, making the entire experience unsettling yet captivating. It’s distinctive, not just for its creature feature elements, but for the emotional weight it carries throughout.

Intriguing blend of genres with strong thematic depth.Notable for practical effects and immersive atmosphere.Pacing balances tension and introspection effectively.
