Plastic Killer

About This Movie

So, 'Plastic Killer' is an intriguing piece from 2022 that dives into some pretty heavy themes. You've got Amparo, who lives in this rundown haberdashery, and her only companion is a plastic bag named Carmela. It's a strange setup, right? But it really works, in this kind of somber, atmospheric way. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, letting you soak in the oddity and sorrow of her world. There’s this haunting quality to the performances that sticks with you—Amparo’s isolation is palpable. The practical effects, though minimal, amplify the surreal tone. It’s distinct for how it cleverly critiques consumerism through such an odd lens. Definitely not your typical drama, and that's what makes it stand out.
