About This Movie

Totem (2015) is this intriguing little exploration of suburban life that feels almost like a slice-of-life piece, but with a twist. The pace is slow and almost hypnotic, drawing you into the mundane yet intimate moments shared by this thirtysomething couple. It captures a certain rawness, an authenticity in their vulnerabilities and discomforts that makes it feel real. The performances are understated, yet they resonate with a depth that creeps up on you. There's no flashy effects here, just a focus on the everyday, which makes it distinct. It’s a film that lingers in your mind, inviting reflection on the nature of togetherness and isolation.

Totem has had a limited release, making it somewhat of a rare find for collectors. It's not widely available in multiple formats, which adds to its appeal amongst enthusiasts who appreciate indie films that delve into human experiences. The film's understated approach and thematic depth invite discourse, and its scarcity has sparked interest among collectors who value unique cinematic voices.
