The State of Things is quite the peculiar film, isn't it? Shot in Portugal, it captures this surreal atmosphere as a beleaguered film crew grapples with the chaos of production. You can feel the frustration as they run out of film while trying to recreate Corman's The Day the World Ended. Munro, the director, is almost like a detective in a way, searching for the elusive producer. The pacing has this intriguing ebb and flow, mirroring the struggle of creativity versus reality. The performances are raw, capturing a sense of desperation and determination. Plus, the practical effects they manage to pull off are a testament to that era's ingenuity. There's a certain charm in how it reflects on filmmaking itself.
