Without Name – Images from a Breached Threshold

I recently posted about Lorcan Finnegan’s 2016 film Without Name, which is a distinctive, unsettling woodland set often sunless and (literally) psychedelic folk horror-esque film.

When I was posting about it I noticed that there didn’t seem to be all that many different stills from the film online and I thought I’d remedy that in this post.

Also, when I was revisiting the film I thought that in part, which isn’t something I mentioned in the previous post, that it shares some similarities with Josephine Decker’s also unsettling woodland set folk horror-esque film Butter on the Latch, which I’ve previously described as being “a slasher in the woods without the slashing”, particularly in the way that they both use relatively still entrancing and quietly unsettling woodland and pastoral images…

The significance of man (vs nature) put into perspective…

Nature finds a way (if you look closely)…

Home not so sweet home…

Notes on everywhere and nowhere from The Knowledge of Trees…

Watching and waiting…

Subtle intimations that something isn’t quite right…

Aura experiments…

A remote planner of pillaging…

Waiting…

The boundaries are breached…

Searching for a man who will never be found…
