We Have Decided Not to Die

About This Movie

So 'We Have Decided Not to Die' is this intriguing piece from 2004 that really plays with notions of existence and transformation. It’s not your average narrative film, more like an exploration of life cycles through these almost meditative rituals. The atmosphere is thick and immersive, with haunting visuals that linger. The scenes are deliberately paced, almost contemplative, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's something captivating about that stillness. The practical effects, especially with the woman's movements, create this surreal quality that's both unsettling and beautiful. It’s distinctive, no doubt, and definitely asks you to engage with its themes of birth and rebirth in a way that feels more like a dream than a story.
