ANTIDOTAL

Overview

This is a poignant and uncomfortable film that delves into the psychological turmoil of Rafael, a young man battling with a tenuous grip on reality. With a recurring motif of the doppelganger, inspired by Dostoevsky, and themes of Sartrean existentialism, the film presents a raw and unflinching look at the ambiguity of an authentic existence. A slick and evocative style of black and white cinematography is employed to further this, leaving the audience in a state of questioning, and catharsis based on Rafael's drive through his circumstance of skulduggery.
