Man of Flowers

About This Movie

So, 'Man of Flowers' is this intriguing little gem from '83. It’s got this offbeat charm, really. The pacing is pretty laid back, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the eccentricity of the main character, who is both endearing and a bit unsettling. The film dives into themes of beauty—real beauty—and how each facet, from art to the delicate nature of flowers, intertwines with his rather voyeuristic tendencies. There’s a certain whimsy in the way the story unfolds, and the performances have this raw, unrefined quality that makes it feel personal. The atmosphere is rich, almost tactile, as you find yourself drawn into his world. Not something you see every day, that’s for sure.
