About This Movie

A New Mattress is this quirky blend of comedy and documentary that peels back layers of our everyday lives, with a focus on such a mundane task as buying a mattress. The pacing is quite reflective, like wandering through your own thoughts. You really get a sense of time slipping away as the filmmaker captures those moments of indecision and introspection. It's almost meditative, yet laced with humor. The practical effects are minimal, but the performances—if you can call them that—are genuine, relatable. It’s an exploration of comfort, both physical and existential, inviting a sort of self-examination. The whole atmosphere feels like a late-night conversation with a friend, making it distinctive in its approach to such a simple subject.

Considered a niche piece for collectors interested in avant-garde cinema. · Has an experimental tone that may appeal to fans of unconventional narratives. · Not widely known, so it can be a conversation starter among enthusiasts.
