Seven Times a Day We Bemoan Our Lot and at Night We Get Up to Avoid Our Dreams

About This Movie

This one’s an interesting piece, for sure. It’s an animated documentary that really immerses you into the psyche of someone grappling with loss and dislocation. The atmosphere is heavy, almost surreal, as it dives into the mind of a man who lost his memory during a pivotal moment in history. The pacing varies, sometimes slow and contemplative, other times jarringly quick, mirroring the chaotic nature of memories and dreams. The practical effects, though subtle, add a layer of depth to the animation, creating an unsettling yet captivating visual experience. The interviews are raw, and the performances, though animated, feel deeply human. It’s that blend of personal narrative and broader societal commentary that sets this film apart.
