What is this about: Dark mystery art movie about young man, who somehow seems bland and plain to everyone whether he is at public place, work or trying to talk to girl he likes. He is so invisible that nobody even seems to notice when new co-worker looks exactly like him. Movie is based on novel by Dostoevsky.
Content warnings: Suicidal behavior, violence
Best about it: Uniqueness, retro sci-fi atmosphere, use of colors
How did I felt: I was expecting quite basic entertaining thriller so I was very suprised when what I got was quite minimalistic, slow art movie. In some parts watching it felt like seeing a dance koreografy. All the moves were very carefully planned as well as lightning and sounds. Atmospehere felt quite heavy because the lack of natural light and some other filming choises.
Goodness: 4/5
Weirdness: 4/5
