About This Movie

Asche dives into the chaotic and often pretentious realm of Linz's emerging art scene, and it feels raw and real. The narrative weaves through the lives of three couples and an outsider, showcasing the complexities of their relationships and the often lonely pursuit of artistic identity. There's this satirical edge to it, poking fun at the art elite while still capturing the genuine struggles of creativity. The pacing has a kind of meandering quality, like wandering through an art gallery—some pieces resonate, others leave you scratching your head. Performances are layered; you can feel the tension beneath the surface. The practical effects, while minimal, serve the atmosphere well, giving it a grounded feel amidst the swirling chaos of ambition and desire.
