Public Notice
4/5
A social commentary film about the greed within housing expansion.
Rouzbeh Noori’s unique approach to filmmaking proves to be highly effective in creating an unsettling atmosphere, and the absence of dialogue further highlights the film’s political themes. The score enhances these themes, making it difficult to shake the feeling of uneasiness that persists throughout.
The film’s exploration of the corruption and greed behind over-development further elevates the political message and highlights society’s shortcomings. It highlights the toll that such development has on the environment and communities as a whole.
Overall, the film is not for everyone, yet it still manages to deliver an unsettling and highly memorable experience that demands both reflection and action. Noori’s work is proof that experimental filmmaking can successfully convey societal commentary without sacrificing entertainment value. ‘Public Notice’ is worth watching for anyone interested in cinematography and political themes.
