The Wake is quite the ambitious endeavor, stretching over eight hours and playing out as a silent film. Adapted, in a way, from Joyce's dense Finnegans Wake, it captures a surreal atmosphere that can feel disorienting yet oddly immersive. You’re not just watching a movie; it’s an exploration into the subconscious, filled with practical effects that evoke a sense of dreamlike wonder. The pacing? It's deliberate, inviting you to linger on each frame, each moment, really forcing you to engage with the visuals and themes of time and memory. There’s a meditative quality to it all, and it’s definitely not for everyone, but for those who appreciate experimental cinema, it stands out as a unique project in the landscape of film.
