The Beheading of St. John the Baptist

About This Movie

The Beheading of St. John the Baptist captures the chaos of family dynamics in a single day, unfolding in a cramped apartment. It’s got this interesting blend of comedy and drama, which feels both absurd and painfully real. Jovan, the youngest, is this outcast character—definitely relatable for anyone who's been the black sheep. The pacing is tight, compressing the entire narrative into one emotionally charged day. The atmosphere feels like a pressure cooker, with secrets simmering just beneath the surface. The performances are raw, especially from the parents who are trying to navigate their crumbling marriage while keeping their son in the dark. It’s distinctive in its approach—using a mundane setting to tackle heavy themes like divorce and family loyalty, all while balancing humor and heartbreak.
