The Diagonal Force

About This Movie

The Diagonal Force dives deep into the human experience, it’s that kind of documentary that pulls you in with its raw honesty. Co-written with Julie Morel, it unfolds in two stages. The first half presents four distinct portraits, each subject navigating the aftermath of social violence through their art or thoughtful reflection. The pacing feels almost like an art installation, with each segment allowing the audience to breathe and absorb. The atmosphere is heavy yet enlightening, a mix of despair and resilience. What really stands out here are the personal stories, the performances feel genuine, like you're sharing their burdens. It's an exploration of trauma and healing, not just a documentary—it feels more like a conversation with the souls behind the art.
