Mid-Afternoon Barks

About This Movie

So, 'Mid-Afternoon Barks' is this intriguing collection of three stories set in Beijing, all revolving around the installation of electrical poles. The film has this dreamlike quality, feels almost hypnotic at times. It's surreal, for sure, and the pacing can be a bit languid, which might throw some viewers off. But, there's a distinct atmosphere that captures the essence of urban life and isolation. The practical effects are minimal but effective, grounding the surreal elements in reality. The performances have this rawness, which adds an interesting layer to the narrative. It’s a film that lingers in your mind, kind of makes you think about the mundane and how it intersects with our lives. Definitely a unique piece to explore.
