    • Trivia
      In an unconventional move, art-house film distributor Neon is releasing Memoria "from city to city, theater to theater, week by week, playing in front of only one solitary audience at any given time." And furthermore, according to IndieWire (10/5/21) the film will only play in theaters and it will not become available on DVD, on demand, or on streaming platforms. They later abandoned this release strategy though after touring through only New York and Chicago and the film was eventually released in many cities simultaneously across North America in the April, 2022.

    Watch Alone, its a spiritual retreat.
    So, this film is artistic AF. It has all of what most people who enjoy film dont like ( including myself) but it is an spiritual retreat. So i would suggest that you get a nice wine, sit comfortable in front of a big screen with good sound and enjoy a very slow visual artistic film. That in general. I also recommend to watch it alone, i think it is a very private film, and you will enjoy better when you can fully inmerse.

    The director challenges the viewer the whole first part of the film, but preparing you for the next. Needs to bring you heart rate very low, and you will feel how time stops at some point. You will forget about outside world in the second part. Its not a film to entertaind, its more like a trip to the jungle , find a shaman, try ayahuasca and come back to normal life. Seems surreal, makes you wonder... Personally i was not prepared properly to watch this film, but i enjoyed it because i am also a photographer so i was enjoying every static frame. There is craft on this film, technically stunning.
