Insanity

2015 · 21 min

A short, disorienting descent into a soldier's fractured mind, more oppressive mood piece than battle spectacle.

Overview: This is an anti war film where we see a soldier's psychological state deteriorate due to the effects of war. It is not set in any particular time or war as it is meant to represent the soldier's post-combat state of mind.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and eerie. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: War, madness, trauma, isolation
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
