Frontiers

About This Movie

So, 'Frontiers' from 2013—it's a pretty stark look at the Moroccan Sahara. The way Maité dives into her documentary project is intriguing, but the reality she faces there is jarring. The film nails that sense of disillusionment, you know? The pacing feels deliberate, which adds to the overall heaviness of the themes it tackles—identity, struggle, and the harshness of political realities. The performances are understated but effective, really pulling you into the emotional landscape. It's not flashy or overproduced either, which gives it a raw, authentic feel. It’s distinctive in how it portrays a place that’s often romanticized, stripping away those illusions and getting to the core of what’s really going on. Worth a closer look if you're into films that challenge perceptions.
