Anatomy of Failure dives into the shadowy corners of Carlos Castaneda's life, blending documentary and drama in a way that feels almost dreamlike.

It’s not just about Castaneda's legacy but also about the haunting disappearances of the women around him. The performances, though understated, convey a palpable sense of loss and intrigue. Those road trips through California add a layer of surreal exploration, making you feel the desolation of both the landscape and the stories being unearthed. The practical effects, while minimal, are used thoughtfully, enhancing the sense of reality against the bizarre narrative backdrop.
