Feathers

About This Movie

Feathers (1987) is a quiet yet engaging drama that unfolds in the tension-filled space between urban and rural lifestyles. The tone is heavy, almost suffocating at times, illustrating the stark contrast between the simplicity of country life and the complexity of city dwellers. The pacing lingers, almost inviting you to absorb the characters' interactions and the subtle shifts in power dynamics. The performances, particularly from the visiting couple, are grounded and layered, capturing the nuances of class and expectation. It's distinctive in its use of practical effects to enhance the natural beauty of the setting without overwhelming the narrative. A film that quietly examines societal divides through personal conflict and intimate moments.
