Così Com’è

About This Movie

Così Com’è dives deep into the emotional landscape of a family grappling with Alzheimer's. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, as we follow Emilia's journey from the sun-soaked streets of Calabria to the colder, industrial backdrop of Germany. It's not just about the illness; it’s about connection and the unspoken words that linger in the air. The performances are raw and relatable, with a sense of authenticity that really pulls you in. The atmosphere captures that essence of nostalgia and longing, making the viewer reflect on their own familial ties. There’s a distinct use of practical effects during some dream sequences that adds an interesting layer to the storytelling. It’s a quiet film, but it resonates in the stillness.
