STEFAN [ʃteføn]

About This Movie

Stefan is quite a unique little film that dives into the life of an Ikea chair that’s seen better days. It’s set in this cozy apartment, really, almost feels like a character itself. The couple, they’re dealing with the loss of their dog, and you can feel that tension in the air. The pacing has this almost quirky rhythm, blending comedy and drama in a way that feels fresh. The chair’s perspective is just bizarre enough to keep you engaged, and honestly, some of the practical effects they use to animate Stefan are cleverly done. It’s like an emotional journey seen through an inanimate object, which is both humorous and poignant. Antoine Jury’s direction here gives it a distinctive vibe that stands out among indie films.
