Rising Rain

About This Movie

Rising Rain is a little gem from '95 that captures the raw essence of urban struggle and youthful love. The pacing is contemplative, almost dreamlike at times, allowing viewers to soak in the moody atmosphere of a city that feels alive yet alien to its own youth. The film dives into how Sabah, our writer protagonist, reflects on his life amid financial strain and social displacement. There's an interesting dichotomy between the lonely rain-soaked nights and the tender moments shared by the boy and girl, which adds a layer of poignancy. The performances are heartfelt, with a certain authenticity that feels refreshing. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you, not for grand gestures but for the quiet, heartfelt moments that resonate long after the credits roll.
