Stunning visuals and poetic storytelling collide in a captivating dance of existence.
4/5

Review

‘Hilos en Hilos’, helmed by the visionary Laila Saber Rodriguez and penned collaboratively with Marco Caricola, offers a transcendent journey into the realms of life and death. Through a mesmerizing blend of metaphorical imagery and poignant choreography, the film unfolds as a profound exploration of existence itself.

At its heart lies the captivating performance of Shynna Kalis, who embodies Death with a graceful yet haunting allure. Supported by the talents of Iris Bosker, Gabriel Giordano, and Davy Koopman, the ensemble brings forth a nuanced portrayal of the intricate dance between mortality and transcendence.

Rodriguez’s direction deftly navigates the ethereal narrative, weaving together themes of spirituality and power dynamics with exquisite finesse. The bilingual nature of the film adds a layer of richness, inviting viewers into a multicultural experience that resonates on a universal level.

Visually striking, the monochrome aesthetics punctuated by splashes of split green evoke a surreal dreamscape, further immersing audiences into the film’s enigmatic world. Joris van den Einden’s masterful cinematography elevates every frame, capturing the essence of each moment with stunning precision.

‘Hilos en Hilos’ is not a film for everyone, but for those willing to embrace its avant-garde approach, it rewards with a profound and thought-provoking experience. It transcends traditional storytelling boundaries, offering a poetic meditation on the cyclical nature of existence and the eternal dance between life and death.

Brief Synopsis

Life, players, stones and strategies. Every move shapes a tangent of reality. As we traverse a mountain’s crest while we live on earth, portals breathe on both sides – a world in-between. What does it mean to play the game of life and death? How many players? How many lives? Who plays who? Transitions, changes, and moves create the illusion of sequentiality – revealing a truer picture of history: the fluid whirlpool of wind, sand and fire.
