Anhedonia (2019)

Anhedonia: Directed by Michael Henry. With Liam Blundell, Matt Bramble, Amy Elizabeth, Paul Fanning. Upon hearing of his mentor’s impending death, haggard musician Kino Warren begins a journey on foot across country, and through a place not of this world referred to as “the territory”. Kino believes wholeheartedly that the mentor cannot die until he arrives. On his journey, Kino is unaware several people are on his tail – varyingly malicious and politically involved – in search of the only-known recording of the greatest piece of music ever made, a piece supposedly capable of taking away all pain within the listener – created by his mentor, and in his possession, completely unbeknownst to him.

“One of the most gripping and gorgeous independent films around. The plot is gripping, funny, creepy and heartbreaking all at the same time. But, the real highlight for me is how well it allows you take your own interpretation of what certain characters or things represent both personally and from the world in the film. While still having a really solid plot. Brilliant acting from all the cast also makes for a really fun watch. Would recommend to any fans of Paul Thomas Anderson!”
