The Congress

The Congress is a deeply reflective and often unsettling film. Its Drama core evokes significant Sadness, Melancholy, and Empathy for the aging protagonist facing the harsh realities of her career and identity. The Sci-Fi and Animation elements contribute heavily to a sense of Awe and Curiosity due to its unique visual style and mind-bending concepts. However, these elements also lead to Confusion and can be quite Disturbing as the consequences of her decision unfold, blurring lines between reality and illusion. A strong undercurrent of Nostalgia for a bygone era of cinema and personal history is also present.
