What's the run down on the film Memoria?



Thinking about catching it soon. It won't be available on DVD/On Demand/Streaming??:why:

Just now hearing about this. I swear it feels like Tilda has been involved with almost every arthouse director by now. Trailer seems mysterious and I hope the sound design keeps that same energy for the actual film.

Bout to peep The Wailing now though, I wanna get spooked tonight.

This was a gem, among my favorites to have dropped within the past year. Don’t go in expecting a full-on romance, it’s more of a character study and reality gut punch when it comes to the uncertainty of relationships ala (500) Days of Summer.

It’s a beautifully shot film. Such a warm charm overall and things at least for majority of the film felt naturalistic. The time-stopping scene in particular was a joy to watch.

Curious to see what others think of the main lead in this. Honestly found the actor who played Aksel to be the real stand-out here. Not going to spoil the story, but dude had a powerful scene in the closing act. Two scenes actually.

saw this last week and it's one of my favorite films this year. I noted in the big watch thread, that it encapsulates the millennial floating through life vibe/feeling extremely well on multiple angles.

I understand why Julie was non-committal to everyone but at the same time, just be honest which in the end, she was to Aksel.

As for Aksel, I feel bad he didn't get what he wanted but it never felt like he truly pushed for it. Seems more like he had an idea of what he felt he should be due to societal norms but even he didn't really feel that box he was trying to force his self in.

Everyone did a great job and like you said...the film is incredibly shot and feels warm like a romcom but avoids the cliche aspects of those films.

The way the video recordings, memories, and reality are weaved together is astonishing as a daughter tries to piece together the memory of her father. We get a great buildup to get back to the starting point in the same vein as Goodfellas that will leave you amazed. The acting is superb, the direction is amazing especially for a first time director (the interview scene is some great work for a rookie).

This gave me the same feelings that Shoplifters & Capernaum did :wow:

Aftersun is one of my favourites last year, bleek in places but very real and delicately seemed together like its a real journey the audience is involved in, sad, poignant and reflective. .
The ending itself implicitly explains the loss and its memoirs through video capture of daughter and father, beautiful.

Can anyone hook it up with a stream of the film messidor?
Wild that I can't find a legal stream anywhere else. Have you tried searching the Caribbean seas for it? Kodi/Real-Debrid usually helps me out with these instances.

I remember searching a year or so ago, and found it hosted on a SKETCHY website all in Arabic and shyt.

I'm talking about the ads would've made a porn site blush.:huhldup:
