Elektra (2023)
Meditation with Cinema
Whenever I feel overwhelmed with social media feeds or by TV shows that are very fast pace and stimulating I go back this very artistic and meditative film, it really relaxes me and engages me at the same time.
The blocking, camera movements and the sets are so in harmony you feel that you are in the hands of a good filmmaker who can make you feel the plot more than tell you and show you.
The cast is amazing and the acting is unrealistically real, the camera work is on point and editing is seamless and smooth.
My only complaint is the sexual/sensual scenes, I feel they belong to the film but. It in a physical sense..
