This is Only the Beginning

About This Movie

This is Only the Beginning offers a poignant exploration of loneliness and the craving for connection. The film's pacing is intentionally reflective, allowing viewers to really sit with the protagonist's inner turmoil as he navigates the bustling streets of Osaka, which contrast sharply with his quiet life in Sweden. The reclusive character is beautifully portrayed, pulling you into his world of isolation and desire for belonging. The documentary captures raw moments with an almost voyeuristic lens, making you feel the weight of his search. There's a distinct atmospheric quality to the cinematography, where the chaotic life of the city feels both alien and enticing. It’s this blend of introspection and external chaos that sets it apart in the documentary genre.
