The South

About This Movie

So, 'The South' is a curious piece from 2016 that unfurls in this almost dreamlike manner. It’s all about a group of friends and their journey through South America, but it leans heavily on these fragmented memories and anonymous documents. The pacing feels a bit languid, which really immerses you in the atmosphere—almost like you're drifting through their recollections. The landscape itself becomes a character of sorts, influencing the dynamics among the group. There's a strange tension that builds as the environment starts to unravel their connections. The performances are understated but feel genuine, adding to the overall contemplation of friendship and distance. It’s not flashy but has this distinctive quality that lingers long after the credits roll.
