Swollen

About This Movie

So, 'Swollen' is a fascinating blend of drama and music. The film revolves around two brothers and their complex relationship, which is really the heart of the story. The five live performances from Dejima's EP weave into the narrative in a way that feels organic, almost like the songs are characters themselves. The pacing is interesting; it ebbs and flows like the music, making it feel immersive. There’s a rawness to the performances that captures the tension and tenderness between the brothers. The atmosphere is gritty yet lyrical, and you can sense the emotional weight they carry. It’s not just a concert film; it's more about those human connections and the struggles we face.
