MOTION PICTURE CHOKE (2024) Japan Cuts 2024


Post apocalyptic tale set in the far off future follows the life of a woman living in a partially collapsed building.

A low budget caveman like tale the film seems to have been built around a limited number of locations all a short distance from each other. Shot in black and white and having no dialog this is a film you are going to either click with or not. 

I have seen way too many similar films, and this film didn’t really click with me. While the basic story is good the execution is mixed. The clothes are too perfect. No one shows signs of bumps and scrapes and their hair and cleanliness are perfect. It all feels like dress up and the wrong sort of make believe.

I never connected.
