Scratch

About This Movie

Scratch is this intriguing slice-of-life drama that really captures the raw energy of London’s art scene through the lens of obsession. Lena, the main character, is a young art student whose fixation on Sol, a seemingly homeless but magnetic 20-year-old, unfolds in a way that feels both intimate and unsettling. The pacing can be a bit languid at times, echoing the wandering nature of Sol himself. It dives deeply into themes of connection and alienation, and the way it plays with perception in art is fascinating. The performances are naturalistic, almost documentary-like, which adds to the film's unique atmosphere. It's not just about their relationship; it's about how art and life intersect in sometimes uncomfortable ways.
