Smell

About This Movie

Smell is an intriguing little film that dives into the uncomfortable corners of a stale marriage. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost painful at times, mirroring the couple's strained silence over a bland meal. It's not just about the dialogue—or lack thereof—but how the environment shapes the tension. Practical effects strike a particularly memorable note during that climax, transforming what starts as a mundane dinner into a rather grotesque spectacle. The performances lean into awkwardness, capturing the essence of discomfort in relationships. It’s distinctive in its minimalism and the way it invites viewers to sit with the mundane and the absurd. Quite a unique exploration of intimacy and its breakdown, wrapped in a comedic yet dramatic package.
