Before What Comes After

About This Movie

Before What Comes After unfolds in a rather cerebral way, with Doctor Augustin Masset and writer Fabrice Toussaint navigating the murky waters of existence. The film has this intimate, almost suffocating atmosphere, highlighted by long takes and minimalistic settings that encourage reflection. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really sit with the conversations, which are heavy yet oddly soothing. The performances are raw, especially from Toussaint, who brings a palpable vulnerability to his character's existential crisis. It's less about flashy visuals and more about the weighty themes of life, death, and the connection between people. It’s a distinct piece that prompts deeper thinking rather than just surface-level enjoyment.
