Brumal

About This Movie

Brumal is one of those films that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. Directed by Cristina Andreu, it captures this haunting nostalgia, as Adriana revisits her childhood village after her mother's passing. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of loss and yearning, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative. The performances are raw and heartfelt, especially Adriana's, who embodies that deep connection to her roots. There’s a unique blend of practical effects that subtly enhance the film’s dreamlike quality, making the village almost a character in itself. It's not flashy, but rather this quiet exploration of memory, identity, and the weight of the past, which makes it stand out in the drama genre.
