Brief thoughts on AGON (2025) which plays NDNF today and MUBI April 24th

 


Three female athletes prepare for the Olympics

This is a great looking film shot in the style of an art house Olympic documentary. It's a film that reminded me of some of the films from the 1960's particularly TOKYO OLYMPIAD. I mean that in both a good way and a bad way. Its good because the film looks and sounds awesome. It's bad because we are kept at an emotional distance.


I kind of like the film because it looks so good but I dislike that I was so emotionally distant from anyone on the screen.

Worth a look if you want to see a great looking film
