Iguana Like the Sun

About This Movie

Iguana Like the Sun is a curious exploration of family dynamics set against this eerie backdrop of a total solar eclipse. The tone feels heavy, almost melancholic, as we dive into the lives of this family grappling with loss. The pacing is deliberate, allowing those moments of tension to breathe, which enhances the emotional weight. The performances are raw, particularly how the unexpected guest stirs up repressed feelings and unfulfilled dreams. There's a sort of cosmic loneliness that permeates the film, a reflection of their inner turmoil, and the practical effects are subtly integrated, adding to the surreal atmosphere. It’s this blend of personal struggle and natural wonder that gives the film its unique identity.
