Such as It Is

About This Movie

So, 'Such as It Is' is this intriguing piece split into four distinct parts—underground, city, rural countryside, and then the fog and ocean. Each segment feels like its own mini universe, yet they all connect like elements of nature in an abstract way. The tone shifts from gritty realism to ethereal beauty, using practical effects that really enhance the atmosphere. There’s a deliberate pacing that allows you to soak in the visuals and themes of existence and natural forces. It’s not something you come across often, and that’s part of its charm. The performances are understated yet deeply resonant, drawing you into this meditative experience that feels almost like a visual poem.

'Such as It Is' is somewhat of a hidden gem among collectors, often overshadowed by more mainstream releases. It's known for its limited availability, and the various formats it has been released in are scarce, making it a bit of a treasure hunt to find. The film's unique structure and aesthetic appeal have sparked interest among those who appreciate experimental cinema, adding to its allure in collector circles.
