Totems

About This Movie

So, 'Totems' is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that really plays with the themes of friendship and loss. The premise? Bastien's friends, upon his death, scramble to secure his rather unique collection of sex toys before his mother finds out. It's a bizarre setup that sounds crass but manages to dig deeper into the awkwardness of adult relationships and mortality. The pacing is a bit uneven at times – it has those reflective moments that slow things down, juxtaposed with the absurdity of the situation. The performances are surprisingly heartfelt, capturing that blend of humor and melancholy. It's distinctive in how it approaches a taboo subject with a light touch, allowing for both laughs and genuine moments of connection among the characters.
