Chrysalis

About This Movie

Chrysalis offers a raw and intimate glimpse into the life of a young woman stepping into unfamiliar territory. The atmosphere is heavy with tension, capturing both the excitement and dread of a job interview at a queer restaurant, a backdrop that starkly contrasts her conservative upbringing. The pacing feels natural, almost breathless at times, mirroring her emotional journey of self-discovery. Performances are authentic, with a particular spotlight on the subtlety of her internal struggle, which makes this film stand out. It’s not just about the interview; it’s about her grappling with identity and acceptance, wrapped in a narrative that resonates deeply with the LGBTQ+ experience.

Chrysalis is a rare find with its limited release history; it hasn't had many formats beyond the initial screenings. Interest seems to be growing among collectors as more people uncover its nuanced storytelling. It's not widely available, making it a unique piece for any serious collection, especially for those focused on LGBTQ+ narratives and independent dramas.
