Arresting visual essay

In the heart of a dangerous city, isolated angry vignettes are laced together by desperation of the characters, each struggling with their own and the city's cruel adversity. The tension of the half dozen principal characters, representing the emotional stress of the entire community, seems headed for an explosion. The film is relevant in 2022 with an escalation of mass killings in urban centers worldwide, notably in the U. S. Seething bitterness coalesces into the random murder of innocents. This movie captures to slow and seemingly unconnected violence in the hearts of many characters, whose anger is not without cause, though the maelstrom in which it culminates seems senseless. A universal story of urban despair well acted and highly realistic in our times.
