Perkin

About This Movie

So, 'Perkin' is this unique drama that captures the essence of Santiago through the lens of Muñeca and his friends. They’re all a bit downtrodden, you know, worn out from the daily grind. The pacing feels almost like a stroll through the city, meandering and reflective. It’s got this raw, authentic vibe, highlighting conversations that peel back layers of personal experience and perspective on work and life. The performances are subtle but impactful, conveying a lot with just a glance or a sigh. What stands out to me is how it feels very much like a slice of life—real, gritty, and at times, quite poetic. Not your typical narrative structure, but it works in a way that stays with you.
