Then, the Fog

About This Movie

Then, the Fog is a slow-burn drama that really leans into atmosphere. César, the watchman, is such a relatable character, stuck in routine until that letter changes everything. His journey back to the family land is layered with themes of loss and belonging, beautifully capturing that sense of nostalgia. The pacing isn't rushed, allowing moments of reflection that feel authentic. I appreciate the practical effects used to evoke the fog itself—very evocative. The performances are grounded, especially César's struggle, which feels very real. It's distinctive in how it explores personal history against the backdrop of a changing landscape, both physically and emotionally.
