Floating Free

About This Movie

Floating Free is one of those documentaries that sticks with you. It's raw and unfiltered, diving headfirst into the world of drug use in Hungary during the late '80s. The pacing can be a bit disjointed, but that fits the theme — it feels like you’re navigating the chaotic lives of the individuals featured. What’s really striking is how it humanizes these often marginalized voices, shedding light on stories that were once quietly swept under the rug. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive at times, but there's also a sense of resilience among the subjects. It's not flashy, no big production tricks here, but the realness of the performances and the weight of the stories make it something quite distinctive in the documentary realm.

Focus on the documentary's historical context. · Consider its impact on discussions around drug use. · Interesting for those collecting international docs.
