Charleston

About This Movie

Charleston (2018) offers a raw look at grief and unexpected connections. Alexandru, reeling from his wife's tragic death, finds his world rattled by Sebastian's arrival. The film expertly captures the tension between sadness and the absurdity of life, with moments that are both poignant and darkly comedic. The pacing, at times, feels languid yet purposeful, allowing viewers to soak in Alexandru's turmoil and the awkwardness of his situation. Performances are notably genuine; the chemistry between the leads adds layers to an already complex narrative. It's not flashy in its presentation, relying more on dialogue and character interactions than on grand spectacles. The practical effects, while minimal, serve to enhance the realism of Alexandru's emotional journey. Quite a unique take on love and loss, I’d say.
