Always Alive

About This Movie

Always Alive is a quirky piece that captures the essence of a small, fading community in Corsica. The film presents a blend of comedy and social commentary, centered on Ange, the village mayor. His ambition to revive the area through a drama workshop adds a nice layer of irony, considering the villagers' reluctance and the absurdities that unfold. The pacing has a laid-back feel, almost mirroring the village's slow tempo, and the characters are crafted with a sort of endearing eccentricity. There's something uniquely charming about how this film tackles themes of hope and stagnation, all while maintaining a lighthearted approach. The practical effects and performances, though not overly flashy, land well, enhancing the film's rustic authenticity.
