The Idiot

About This Movie

The Idiot (2011) presents a really intriguing character study. It’s about this naive guy, you know, who just sort of walks through life, shaking things up in a way that makes others confront their own feelings of pettiness and moral failings. The pace is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer time to digest all the complex emotions swirling around the characters. It’s shot in a very raw style, which adds to the sense of realism. The performances, especially from the lead, are strikingly natural, and there’s this underlying tension that keeps it engaging. It’s not your typical drama; it’s more about that ugly self-reflection we often avoid, making it quite distinct in its approach to storytelling.
