Flowers

About This Movie

So, 'Flowers' is an interesting little gem from 2018. It captures this poignant slice of life on All Saints' Day, with Bérénice navigating the city in search of flowers for her son's grave. The film has a raw, almost understated vibe that really sticks with you. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to soak up the atmosphere and the emotional weight of the moment. There’s this tension between Bérénice’s somber task and her son Sacha's distractions, which adds layers to their relationship. It’s not flashy, but the performances ground it beautifully, and the practical effects are handled with a subtlety that complements the overall tone. It’s distinct for its themes of loss and remembrance, capturing a universal experience in a very personal way.
