The Rite 1969

A surreal yet artistic psychological crime drama exploring the relationship between artists and their art and how other people perceive them. Although the repetition, talkiness, and stagey feel make this 72-minute running time feel a lot longer than it actually is, it's packed with suspense and tension and keep you intrigued until the last minute. Dividing it into chapters, with each focusing on a different member of the troupe, really get your mind working to connect the pieces together. Lots of close ups in confined spaces allowing the actors to shine in either an intimate or claustrophobic setting. Adding unsettling and minimalistic score in the mix helps to further the film's disturbing tone.
