Polvo serán

TIFF 2024: A brave, shocking film. Depicting the last moments of life with the complicating factor of exploring voluntary death as a romantic gesture. With its musical interludes and warm Spanish setting, the film presents as more pleasant viewing than something like Haneke's "Amour" or Noe's "Vortex", but the void of death almost looms larger here by being largely neglected by it's idealistic protagonists. The final act approaches death with such sober sterility its basically indigestible.
