Charm's Incidents

About This Movie

Charm's Incidents is a quirky piece that feels like a playful romp through the absurd. It captures the essence of Daniil Charms’ writings with a sense of whimsy, all while threading together the misadventures of a down-and-out Russian poet in Vienna. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, mirroring the chaotic spirit of Dadaism itself. You get these delightful, surreal moments that blend comedy with a certain melancholy, almost like a dream you can’t quite shake off. The performances, while not by any big-name actors, have this raw honesty that really anchors the film. It's the practical effects and the unique visual style that stand out, making it a distinctive watch for those who appreciate Eastern European cinema’s eccentricities.
