MOOP (2019)
Philosophical and meditative
As his and susan buice's debut "Four Eyed Monsters" in 2005 - still one of my favorites - arin crumleys second feature MOOP centers around relationships. An intense journey taking place in the desert, where earth and stars meet each other a lot in this movie. The emotional editing got me, and the special, mostly handheld camera is very close and sometimes in weird positions; but making sense all the time. Especially given the circumstances that the movie was shot over several years at the burning man festival (and some other places). The score and and the cast are amazing and what most excites me most is this meditative style: you get lost and find yourself again, a little different to what you were before, just like the cast in the film does. Saw it on the Intern. Filmfest Oldenburg, Indie-Highlight for me, highly recommended.
