Our take

A key player in Portugal’s contemporary experimental scene, Sandro Aguilar followed his numerous shorts with this haunting and elliptical debut feature. With its immersive sound design and incredible cinematography, Uprise charts an expressive voyage through a series of Lynchian, liminal spaces.
