Would You Rather

About This Movie

So, 'Would You Rather' is quite the intriguing piece. It really plays with the concept of choice, you know? The film captures this raw, almost experimental atmosphere where participants are faced with absurd dilemmas, and it’s all shot in this way that feels very intimate, almost voyeuristic. Laura Marques, the filmmaker, really toys with her role. It’s a meta-exploration of cinema, questioning what it means to engage with film. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, which allows you to really sit with the choices being made. The performances carry a lot of weight; you can feel the tension in the air. It’s distinct in how it challenges traditional narrative structures, making you think more about the 'game' of filmmaking itself.

This film has seen limited releases, mainly existing in festival circuits which makes it a bit of a gem for collectors. There aren’t many versions out there, so finding a physical copy can be a challenge. The interest among collectors seems to stem from the unique concept and how it bends the rules of traditional filmmaking, making it a noteworthy conversation starter in any collection.
