Description: A relentless, almost visceral ache permeates "Steps" (2021), a film less about narrative and more about the relentless, creeping dread of existence. It’s a masterclass in atmospheric tension, built not on jump scares, but on the slow, agonizing unraveling of a character grappling with unseen forces. The cinematography, a stark and unforgiving monochrome, mirrors the protagonist's internal landscape – a claustrophobic space of anxieties and unspoken fears. While dialogue is sparse, the film speaks volumes through its haunting visuals and the palpable sense of isolation that blankets every scene. "Steps" isn't for the faint of heart; it demands patience, a willingness to be unsettled, and a keen eye for the subtle nuances of unspoken emotion. This is a film that lingers, that burrows its way under your skin, leaving a lingering unease long after the credits roll. It's a powerful exploration of vulnerability and the silent battles we wage within ourselves.
