I'm a Layer

About This Movie

I'm a Layer (2021) offers a unique blend of drama and existential reflection. Lyosha’s journey through Moscow is marked by a haunting narrative that weaves in the odd tale of a landfill turned residential area. The taxi driver’s story feels almost like a parable, adding layers of meaning to Lyosha's own quest. It's got this moody atmosphere, with a slow burn that lets you absorb the city’s melancholy. The performances are subtle yet powerful, each character reflecting on their own layers of life. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to ponder the implications of memory and the future. It’s not flashy in its execution, but that’s what makes it distinctive—it's raw, real, and thought-provoking.
