Gym

2020 · 166 min

A long, talky, self-aware drift through monologues that feels like watching a film think about itself.

Overview: Seventeen monologues about a gym that doesn't exist, about a film that was never shot, about the actors of the film, about the words that made them true characters.
How it feels: Melancholic, absurd, satirical and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Identity, isolation, art, obsession
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
