Strange Love

About This Movie

Strange Love navigates the delicate emotions of infatuation through the lens of Marija, a young woman working at a supermarket. The film's tone is grounded yet tinged with surreal moments that reflect Marija's naivety. The pacing feels slow, almost meandering at times, which allows us to settle into her world, amplifying the loneliness of her unreciprocated feelings. The performances carry an understated realism, particularly the way Marija interacts with her environment and the people around her. There’s a raw, practical quality to the effects, enhancing the everyday life of the supermarket setting. It's the kind of film that makes you ponder the nature of love, longing, and the mundane, all wrapped in a peculiar atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
