Things

About This Movie

Things (1995) offers a unique dive into the lives of three men in Tel Aviv as they navigate a rather mundane task of finding a funeral. The film has this raw, almost documentary-like quality, capturing the essence of everyday life, but with an emotional undercurrent that pulls you in. The pacing can feel leisurely, which allows for some nice character exploration, particularly with their tangled love lives. Practical effects take a backseat here; it’s more about the dialogue and the performances, which feel genuine, even if they occasionally veer into awkward territory. It's kind of a character study wrapped in the simplicity of a quest, reflecting on loss and connection in a bustling city. There's a distinct charm in its imperfections that collectors often appreciate.
