Something in the Air

About This Movie

Something in the Air (2012) captures the essence of the 1970s with a raw and intimate lens. It’s a slow burn, really, where the atmosphere hangs heavy with political unrest and youthful idealism. Gilles, our protagonist, feels this constant push and pull between his artistic desires and the chaotic world around him. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of quiet reflection amidst the turmoil, and the performances are honest, particularly the chemistry between Gilles and Christine, which feels both tender and fraught. The film's use of practical effects and real locations adds to that authenticity, making you feel the era. It’s less about overt conflict and more about the internal struggles of finding oneself among noise.
