Fang is a psychological horror film about a man who hallucinates about becoming a rat. At its core, it is a film about unfulfilled personal expectations, strive for individuation, mental illness, complex grief and family dysfunction.
I was positively stunned by Fang's writing and direction. The dialogue was superb and flowed naturally; the acting was remarkable throughout the entire cast; the camera work was on point, with its clever use of dutch angles that created that unsettling feeling of losing control; the sound mixing was brutal and at times, jarring, yet it only added to the insanity depicted on screen. I particularly loved the colour scheme and the lighting chosen for certain shots. The props, the costumes and the makeup helped flesh out the characters and expand their three dimensional world. There was great attention to detail and a lot of passion in the building of the sets. All the themes were on point to create a jarring, gritty and psychologically intense descent into insanity.
To me, Fang was a fascinating movie to watch. As an autistic person, it spoke to me on a deeper level and made me reflect on myself. If you're a film student, I really recommend seeing this film for its unique artistic direction. Everyone's done a SUPERB job at bringing it on screen.
