The Was

About This Movie

The Was is an intriguing blend of music and visual art, a collab between the experimental group Soda_Jerk and the eclectic sounds of The Avalanches. The film's atmosphere is almost dreamlike, weaving through various soundscapes that complement the visuals beautifully. It’s not your typical narrative, more like a sensory journey. You can feel the influences of sampling culture throughout, as it plays with nostalgia and modernity. The pacing tends to ebb and flow, maintaining a rhythm that draws you in yet keeps you slightly disoriented. The practical effects, while not overly flashy, add to the film's unique style. It’s less about a straightforward story and more about the experience, which is what sets it apart.
