Closed Season

About This Movie

Closed Season unfolds in the stark isolation of 1942, with a hauntingly tense atmosphere that mirrors the moral dilemmas faced by its characters. Fritz and Emma's remote farm becomes a microcosm of desperation, as they harbor Albert, a Jewish refugee, under the most unusual and ethically complicated circumstances. The performances are raw and intimate, particularly the emotional struggle of Fritz, which adds layers to their already strained marriage. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit in the discomfort of their choices. Themes of sacrifice and the lengths one might go to for survival resonate throughout. It’s a thought-provoking piece that lingers long after the credits roll—a reflection on human nature in times of crisis.
