Tentigo

About This Movie

Tentigo is a peculiar blend of comedy and the absurd, set against the backdrop of a sleepy Sri Lankan town. The narrative kicks off with a rather morbid event—our protagonist's sudden death in front of the TV. It's surprisingly humorous, exploring themes of loss and unexpected intimacy. The pacing feels relaxed, almost meandering, which allows for some genuinely poignant moments amid the laughter. The performances strike a balance between the melodramatic and the ridiculous, particularly the family members grappling with their grief. It's hard to ignore the practical effects that lend a unique charm to the film, making the surreal moments stand out even more. There's a distinctive atmosphere throughout that keeps you intrigued, even as it flirts with the bizarre.
