Pish

About This Movie

Pish (1997) is a curious little documentary that runs just under an hour. It has this raw, unrefined vibe that feels almost intimate. The pacing is slow, almost meditative, which lets you really absorb the mundane yet profound aspects of its subject matter. There's this atmospheric quality that pulls you in, contrasting the ordinary with the extraordinary. The practical effects are minimal, reinforcing that sense of grounded reality, making its themes of existence and perception resonate. You won't find any star performances here, but the sincerity of the participants shines through—there's something genuine about their stories. It’s distinct in how it invites you to reflect rather than just consume.

Interesting meditative pacing · Raw and intimate storytelling · Focus on existence and perception themes
