Tera Toma’s review published on Letterboxd:
Still really major.
Is this the contemporary equivalent to the explorations of space that broke modern cinema apart from the classic? (Experiments in exhaustion of said concept, different ways of exploring subjectivities in relation to it, etc). Daney once said "All it comes down to is that I finally gave up the word 'classic' because there has probably never been a classic cinema (in my view there have been pioneers, moderns and mannerists)" This is somewhere in the middle of that triangle, not sure where. Almost a parody* of the concept of decoupage (and of coverage) by taking the method of coverage to its most hyperbolic extreme. The seams break, rules of space disappear to create a physical world that's palpable and subordinate to the body. When a single turn of a head is able to lead to 3 successful shots that cut in between each other in less than ten seconds, you really feel the equally tragic, comical/preposterous and sublime. Every inch of movement is recorded 10 times from each possible angle. A narrative and a space atomized. The characters are steadfast in existence and never waver, but with each individual cut, the space around them is re-engaged and reformulated - a Blair Witch Project living labyrinth - in order to fit their wills (and the desires of the onlookers, us and Luca). Vaporeous space and blocks of human that inhabit it. But at the same time, despite it's actual physical perception, it feels completely immersive and concrete, and not in the sense that it's just a mirror and externalization of the subjectivities of the characters (it feels outside of them, they inhabit it even if they have the ability to morph it). Just some loose thoughts.
It should also have been called Say Uncle, it would have been a very good and fitting title choice :)
*Only used for lack of a better word. It's not snarky nor sneery. It doesn't place itself above it. It just plays on a subversion of pressuposed rules/truths/tropes.
