A Flower in the Mouth Trailers

A Flower in the Mouth is a film diptych about time running out and how to live through the days that remain. The first act, filmed as an observational documentary in the world’s largest flower market, follows millions of bouquets transiting through a cavernous refrigerated hangar to be sold at auction, an industrial process at once both beautiful and terrifying. The film transitions to fiction in a second act freely adapted from a Pirandello play. A man with a flower-shaped tumour on his lip accosts a traveller in an all-night café. Their seemingly mundane conversation becomes a metaphysical monologue as the man, feeling death approach, clings to life by scrupulously observing its activity, watching reality in every detail, as if to fill the gap between himself and the rest of the world.

Reviews
ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
