What to watch: The Mirror
Exploring the emotional chaos that follows a break-up.
The latest release from Noel Alejandro is The Mirror.
In this film, Alejandro is exploring the emotional aftermath of a breakup - navigating desire, memory, and fantasy.
What's The Mirror about?
While being intimate with Julien, Roberto is startled by something he sees in the mirror—something, or someone, that is not his boyfriend.
Julien dismisses the vision as a hallucination, until they come face-to-face with a strange being in the kitchen. This otherworldly creature has crossed through the mirror to deliver a message to Roberto - his relationship is not what he thinks it is, and it’s time to accept reality.
But before moving on, Roberto is given one final opportunity to enjoy what he once had.
They say relationships are a two-way street, but some relationships contain multitudes taking the shape of fears, self-doubt, or even our own monsters.
Is Roberto ready to face his fears and look in the mirror one last time?
