Shudders

About This Movie

So, 'Shudders' is this quiet drama set in the world of the Tunisian bourgeoisie, you know? It dives into how tragedy shakes these big houses, but instead of confronting it, everything gets swept under the rug. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, like you're stuck in those walls with them. Pacing is deliberate, building tension without much overt action, allowing the performances to carry the weight. The actors really bring the characters to life, showing the layers of denial and pretense. What I find distinctive is its focus on the mundane aspects of life, turning them into something almost claustrophobic. It's not flashy, but it sticks with you, each scene lingering like a ghost.
