Languid

Set against a kaleidoscopic view of the Midwest, LANGUID follows a budding romance between Alex and Joe that is thrown into disarray by a mysterious disappearance. Nebraska-based filmmaker and visual artist MJ Strasburger’s film is a meditation on the ambiguities of love, youth in a time of decay, and impermanence. The film overflows with images and sounds you can feel—incandescent surroundings, glowing skin, dew-speckled prairies, burning love: this is immersive cinema. For audiences hungering for something beyond the boundaries of conventional films, LANGUID offers a hypnotic cinematic experience that announces the arrival of a major talent. Richard Knight Jr. will moderate an exclusive conversation with director, producer, and screenwriter MJ Strasburger and actor Rin Kaseman.
