Self-defense

About This Movie

Self-defense is an intriguing documentary that plays with the concept of hate being treated like a right. It’s layered, using recycled imagery that feels both intimate and unsettling. The poetry layered over these visuals strikes a balance between beauty and discomfort, almost like it’s wrestling with the very essence of what it means to exist in a world filled with contradictions. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with the weight of the themes presented. It’s not just about visuals or narration—there’s a rawness to the way these elements come together, creating a thoughtful atmosphere that sticks with you. The performances, if you can call them that since it's more about the voice than acting, feel genuine and resonate long after the credits roll.
