Gondola is a really well-made movie that stayed with me. The story is pretty simple on the surface. It's about a gondola operator in a remote mountain town, but there's a lot of emotional depth and symbolism that makes it feel bigger. The film has this quiet, reflective vibe, with long shots of the mountains and the town that really pull you into the setting. It almost feels like the environment is its own character.
The acting is really subtle but powerful, especially the lead. She doesn't say much actually she doesn't say anything, but you can feel everything through his expressions and the way he moves. The pacing is definitely slow, but it fits the story and lets the themes sink in. I liked how it used little visual details to explore things like loneliness and time passing.
A few parts did feel a bit too slow, and some side stories didn't really go anywhere, but overall it's a beautiful movie. If you're into quiet, thoughtful films that focus on mood and atmosphere, Gondola is worth checking out.
