Fuga

About This Movie

Fuga (2021) is one of those films that really digs into the complexities of family and personal identity. The tension between Lluís and his father, set against that hot spring day at a construction site, creates this palpable atmosphere of dread and urgency. It’s not just about the argument; it's about Lluís confronting his own fears and the weight of responsibility that comes with familial expectations. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit in those uncomfortable moments. It leans heavily on the performances to convey the emotional gravity, and honestly, it’s refreshing to see a film that embraces its flaws and rawness rather than polishing everything up. There’s a certain realism that strikes a chord, especially for anyone who's grappling with their own familial ties.
