New Religion

Post by AdeBrown »

New Religion, an incredibly low budget from Keishi Kondo.
Friends and acquaintances chipped in with technical gear and know-how. Abul Mogard let him use a track for free. People with no prior acting ability did acting.
And did it well.
Yet he delivers the metaphysical and philosophical weight of more famous directors. A woman loses her daughter, mourns then gradually engages with the lost child's ghost through the intervention of a creepy client (she's a call girl, he just wants to photograph her).
There's an interesting analogy with social media, and cameras stealing one's soul.
