Where the Forest Thickens

About This Movie

Where the Forest Thickens is an intriguing blend of film and theatre, really capturing the essence of Micomicon's original play. It’s not just a story; it’s a journey through memory and trauma, set against the backdrop of post-war Yugoslavia. Antonia's quest, propelled by the death of her mother, pulls you into this deep emotional landscape. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of stillness that hit hard in the midst of personal and historical turmoil. The performances are raw and authentic, adding to that somber atmosphere. What stands out is how it melds the creative process of theatre with the narrative, offering a unique lens on the act of remembrance. Quite a distinctive piece, really.
