Cora

About This Movie

So, 'Cora' unfolds in 2064, where Cora, this Danish woman, digs into a haunting family past. The narrative is quite introspective, revealing layers of grief and identity tied to her father Benjamim's unfinished documentary. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really absorb the emotional weight of his investigation into his own parents—a grandfather grappling with insanity and a grandmother shrouded in mystery. There's a strong sense of atmosphere, especially in the way it juxtaposes Cora's present with the fragmented memories of the past. The performances feel raw and truthful, and the use of practical effects, particularly in recreating the documentary aesthetic, adds a tangible quality to the storytelling. It’s not your typical drama; it’s more like a meditative exploration of family and legacy.
