Ongoing Cave

About This Movie

Ongoing Cave digs into the hidden narratives of its subjects, much like D’Angiolillo's previous works. The pacing is deliberate, allowing each scene to breathe, inviting a contemplative engagement with the often overlooked. There's a rawness to the documentary, a stark authenticity that brings the viewer uncomfortably close to the realities depicted. The atmosphere is dense, almost claustrophobic, mirroring the title itself. You can sense the director’s desire to peel back layers of complexity, showcasing the humanity intertwined with the mundane. The practical effects are minimal but effective, relying on the power of real-life interactions. It’s an intriguing study of spaces and lives that feel both intimate and distant, leaving a lingering impression long after the credits roll.
