What is this about: E is a surreal mystery art movie about former priminister Eva Vogler currently working at Blair Witch institute. After anasyrma gesture at Nobel price event she gets lost in the never ending desert. E is final part of the trilogy.
I participated q&a with the auteur after seeing the movie and here's some interesting facts about the process: The movie was filmed in desert in Namibia, only one hour a day because of the lightning of the perfect evening sun. Filming took three months and they had only one camera. Some actors were found in the area and the filmimg crue wanted to respect the nature of the area: all the sets were build without cars. Sound design was done after filming. The author also told about the use of female body - it should be seen as a tool to tell a story about human kind, it doesn't mean that story would be personal.
Content warnings: Sexual and violent scenes
Best about it: Visuality, atmosphere, themes such as politics, queerness, homophobia, insest and hysteria. I also ejoyd some smart references to resent events such as former priministers new job and high electricity prices.
How did I felt: Watching E has similar feeling than the two previous movies - it's slow, torturing, smart and beautiful. It feels like you're watching some secrets you should not see. Compared to two other movies this was little bit less heavy visually, as seeing endless dessert is almost meditative experience.
Goodness: 5/5
Weirdness: 5/5
