Song X

About This Movie

So, 'Song X' is this intriguing documentary from 2018 that really captures a unique moment of grief and rebellion. The whole cremation ceremony setup is heavy, and the fact that it’s shot on expired black-and-white film adds a layer of nostalgia and, honestly, a touch of eeriness. The grainy visuals reflect the fragility of life and memory, which feels pretty profound. The pacing meanders a bit, but that fits, given the somber subject matter. The teenagers' performances are raw and authentic, really drawing you into their emotional landscape. It’s not the kind of film that shouts for attention, but it quietly lingers with you, making you ponder about loss and those caught between worlds. There’s something pure and personal about it.
