Shogoon

About This Movie

Shogoon is quite the intriguing piece from 2022. You’ve got this hard-of-hearing elder woman, and the way it's shot really captures her world. She's stuck in an elevator, you know? And the pacing really plays with that claustrophobia, making every moment feel stretched. The atmosphere is thick with tension as she tries to piece together what's happening outside. It’s fascinating how the director emphasizes her perspective without relying heavily on sound; visuals tell the story here. There’s something bizarre that she spots, which kind of pulls you into her reality. The performances—especially hers—feel raw and visceral, adding layers to a simple premise. It's those small details that make it stand out in a sea of dramas.
