Our take
Shot under the languid sun of Sicily, Henning Beckhoff’s offbeat short taps into the cinephilic pleasure of watching couples falling out of love in glamorous locations. Reminiscent of Roberto Rossellini’s Journey to Italy, Off Season questions the possibility of autonomy in long-term relationships.
