The Raisin is about an odd old man who eats only one potato and a chocolate-covered raisin each day. He follows strict routines and strongly dislikes two things: liars and squirrels. One day, he meets an elderly woman on his porch, and their encounter challenges his beliefs, leading to a funny and thought-provoking exchange. This unique short film touches on loneliness, distrust, and the search for truth.
It is a beautifully crafted, minimalist gem that explores life through the eyes of a quirky, solitary old man with a ritualistic obsession and deep-seated distrust. His encounter with an elderly woman stirs up a clash that’s both darkly humorous and thought-provoking. The film’s poetic cinematography, powerful performances, serene music and witty dialogue combine to create a striking piece of experimental cinema. With every element from voiceover to setting enhancing its offbeat charm, The Raisin is a masterful slice-of-life tale that lingers long after the credits roll.
