This Mourning

About This Movie

This Mourning is a curious piece that drifts between surreal and existential tones. It dives into Ada Wilkie's odd experience when her TV flickers to life, pulling her into a phone-in about death. The atmosphere feels thick, almost claustrophobic, while Ada's performance balances confusion and a haunting curiosity. There’s an interesting use of practical effects—nothing flashy, but they complement the narrative’s introspective essence. The pacing, while slow at times, allows for reflection on mortality and the absurdity of life. It’s not a traditional narrative, so it may not sit well with everyone, but that's what gives it a distinctive flavor in the realm of cinema.

This Mourning remains somewhat elusive in collector circles, often discussed but rarely seen. The film's limited release and odd subject matter create a niche interest among collectors who appreciate the unconventional. Its scarcity on physical media adds to its intrigue, and while not widely regarded, there’s a growing admiration for its unique exploration of themes surrounding life and death. Keep an eye on this one; it might just surprise you.
