Totem

About This Movie

Totem is an intriguing dive into a slice of criminal life, blending the gritty reality of post-prison existence with a moody atmosphere. Wild’s journey, away from the confines of prison and into the chaotic nightlife, is layered with complexity. The pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, allowing you to absorb the weight of his choices and aspirations. The relationship with Dagmara, amid the backdrop of a nightclub, adds depth, while Wild's idolization of his gangster brother Igor creates a tense dichotomy between ambition and moral ambiguity. There's a raw authenticity in the performances, particularly in how they navigate the nuanced emotional landscape.
