Solitude

About This Movie

So, 'Solitude' from '91 is one of those quiet gems that really captures the essence of isolation in early 20th century Catalonia. The film's pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, drawing you into Mila's world where the tension of her marital struggles is set against a breathtaking, rugged backdrop. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of longing and resignation. Mila's interactions with Gaietà, the shepherd, are where the heart of the film lies; it’s this contrast of her confined life versus the pastoral freedom he represents. The performances feel raw and authentic, bringing a real human touch to the drama. It’s not flashy, but it lingers with you, making you reflect on the nature of connection and solitude.

Pacing is slow but builds emotional depth. · Strong atmospheric presence with stunning visuals. · Explores themes of marital strife and human connection.
