Séance familiale

About This Movie

Séance familiale is a fascinating exploration of intimacy and the intrusion of media into personal lives. The film captures this Taiwanese family's weekend with a French crew, led by Pierre, whose camera starts shifting the dynamics within the household. It's a drama that unfolds slowly, almost like a documentary, revealing the layers of family connections and unspoken tensions. The atmosphere is tense yet surreal as the family navigates their new reality, and the performances are raw, striking a chord with the audience. There's something quite distinctive about the way it juxtaposes cultural differences, creating a somewhat voyeuristic experience. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the narrative well, grounding it in a sense of gritty realism that resonates.
