Something Has Happened is a curious piece from 1987, woven into the fabric of the AIDS crisis. It's not your typical documentary; it’s got this stark, almost clinical tone that makes you sit up and think, rather than just absorb information. The pacing is deliberately slow, lending a weight to each of the monotone scenes. Andersson really pushes you to reckon with the unsettling truths of the medical community's approach to AIDS - the dehumanization, the biases. The performances, if you can call them that, are more like stark illustrations of reality, which is both haunting and thought-provoking. It’s distinctive because it doesn’t softly cradle the viewer; it demands awareness and reflection in a way that feels raw and urgent.
