Midnight Sun

About This Movie

Midnight Sun is an intriguing piece that delves into the psyche of a man shackled by poverty. It’s not just about his external circumstances, but really explores his internal landscape through dreams and desires. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sink into the often surreal atmosphere, which feels oddly haunting and reflective. You can really sense the influence of Zekerija Tamir's storytelling, with its layers of emotion and a rawness that sometimes feels almost tangible. Performances are understated yet powerful, adding depth to characters who are navigating despair but clinging to hope. The practical effects, while not extravagant, are cleverly used to illustrate the protagonist's escapism. It's an interesting watch for those who appreciate character-driven narratives.
