(How) To Be Dead

About This Movie

(How) To Be Dead is a contemplative piece that delves into the psyche of a young man searching for meaning amid the hustle of Buenos Aires. The film's pacing is languid, almost dreamlike, capturing the essence of aimless wandering and introspection. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of melancholy as he drifts between the vibrant city life and his own internal struggles. The performances are grounded; you really feel the weight of his decisions and the disconnect from his friends. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the raw authenticity of the experience. It's a film that invites reflection on youth, identity, and the often solitary nature of self-discovery.
