We've Been Here Before

About This Movie

We've Been Here Before is this intriguing little film that dives into the mysteries of memory and déjà vu. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost claustrophobic, as Joseph tries to make sense of Florence's peculiar experiences. It plays with time and perception in ways that can be quite unsettling but really rewarding if you’re into that sort of thing. The pacing is somewhat deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the moments of confusion and revelation. Practical effects add a nice touch, grounding its ethereal themes in a reality that feels eerily familiar. The performances are nuanced; you can feel the weight of their shared history without it being overly explicit, which is a breath of fresh air in modern cinema.

This film seems to have slipped under the radar, which makes it a bit of a treasure for collectors. The formats available are limited, with some rare VHS and early DVD releases floating around, both of which are becoming harder to find these days. Its unique exploration of themes around memory and time keeps it in the conversation among enthusiasts, and I've noticed a growing interest in films that tackle such psychological nuances. Definitely one to keep an eye out for at those niche film fairs.
