Static frames take you into a world marked by routine, mundaneness and isolation. We are introduced to a man whose performance of even the most ordinary tasks, like having a meal or watching television, puts us at unease. This glimpse into his life is interspersed with another visual, marked not by movement, but stillness - the frame of a door. Behind it lie disconcerting secrets, those in whose revelation rest the undoing of this world as we know it.
The narrative comes into its own gradually, presenting every bit of information in a controlled, calculated manner. Consequently, when the reveal arrives, the viewer has been deliberately led far from it, amplifying the ensuing horror and shock.
A Sickness eventually becomes a story that makes us reassess our own preconceived notions. Can you be tricked into believing a version of the truth simply after a superficial comprehension of an issue or concern? The film answers the question, but akin to its approach so far, in a manner that catches you completely unprepared.
