Like an Afternoon Dream

Dank Farrik, what a wild experience, This compact film, with its slow-paced screenplay, makes it feel longer than it is, giving you time to immerse yourself in the characters and the atmosphere. I absolutely loved it for its minimal dialogue and powerful visual storytelling, which created an almost dreamlike atmosphere that kept me engaged until the very end. It made me feel both sad and happy at the same time—something not many movies can achieve.

I really hope people don't overlook this film, even if the plot might seem simple and dumb
at first glance. It truly stands out in the cinema landscape, exploring themes of identity, memory, and reality, and makes you question their very nature. The film leaves a lasting impression and invites a multitude of interpretations.

I have to mention the technical aspect. While I'm not entirely certain, at times the technical elements of Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam seem to echo Studio Ghibli's approach, especially in their meticulous attention to detail and the use of visual storytelling to evoke emotion and atmosphere.
