Review of Memoria

Memoria (I) (2021)
9/10
Brilliant, meditative and very different
7 June 2022
This is the slowest movie I have ever seen and I liked it. I didn't count but there are static 1 minute scenes where basically nothing happens but that is the point. I think those were just brilliant. This movie is so different from others.

You really have to be inside the movie to watch this. No preconceptions, no rush. Just sink. It is an sensory experience. If you find it, you will just love this one. If you cannot sink or live in the moment, you will probably hate this. Before watching this, analyze yourself how acceptable you are.

After watching this movie I thought I should check online what this movie is about but then I realized I could spoil the movie for myself. How can you spoil a movie that you have already watched?

I read other reviews here and I understand why people are leaving 1-2 star reviews. If you like hollywood productions, this is not for you at all. This is not a "crowpleaser" movie - it is totally original and very very different. You have to be open to watch this movie. Someone wrote here that this is meditative & transcendental - and that is a very good analysis.
