I'm not sure why this strange little film is having a moment - but I couldn't be more thrilled.
It's not often that something this slow creates a buzz but it's a strange mix of relaxing and encouraging to get swept away by the vibe of Dark Sisters. That said, I must say, my roommate fell asleep during the film.
Without giving away too much, the film's ending is grim but somehow the meandering path to get there is through a grey swampy mess teeming with life and human emotions that leaves a feeling of warmth and hopefulness. It's like powering through a late Coltrane free jazz improvisation or Swans concert.
The closest film I can think of to be released this year is Asteroid City, a film all about is vibe who's plot is there just support the poetry.
Looking forward to future Baily work!
