White Epilepsy

About This Movie

White Epilepsy dives deep into the murky waters of image creation, pushing boundaries and making you think. The film carries a haunting atmosphere, with Grandrieux's typical exploration of the unseen, the ungraspable layers of perception. There’s a rawness to the visuals that feels almost primal, almost as if it’s peeling back the layers of our own consciousness. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to really sit with the discomfort and ambiguity. It’s not for everyone, but there’s something about that unsettling quality that lingers. And the way it grapples with the origins of imagery, it’s like an invitation to confront the very act of watching and seeing. Definitely a piece that sticks with you.
