Founded in 2002 as one of the first-ever subscription film services with its DVD-of-the-Month Film Club, Film Movement is now a North American distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films based in New York City. In 2015, Film Movement launched the reissue label Film Movement Classics featuring new restorations released theatrically as well as on home video, with an emphasis on films by auteur directors such as Eric Rohmer, Peter Greenaway and Takeshi Kitano.

Amidst a period of unprecedented world events, an eighteen-year-old girl’s life is placed on hold. Isolated in her bedroom, she falls under the spell of the mysterious vlogger Patricia Coma. As time carries on, the lines between her dreams, fears, hopes, and reality begin to blur into one another.

From French master Bertrand Bonello (The Beast, Zombi Child, Nocturama), COMA is “a neo-Lynchian slow burn masterpiece” (International Cinephile Society) that creates a dream-like representation of our present. A “delirious marvel” (The Playlist) that breaks apart boundaries of genre, filmmaking, and storytelling, COMA bravely confronts the anxieties of today in order to imagine the possibilities of the future.

Final moments?

"Trippy, perhaps avant garde film that is credited as having a lynchian feel. Interesting mix of live action, dolls and animation. Great transfer with excellent audio and video quality. Comes with nifty artwork on packaging."

Kresh R. (3/5)

Beautiful Work of Art

"This is a film that stands more as an art piece elevated through the medium of film. It captures an era bit also a generational emotion. It is a time capsule. Thanks to the cover art for getting me to look into it."

Logan S. (5/5)

Covid era time capsule

"Very claustrophobic and visually stunning"

Chris F. (5/5)

Niche film

"I could not get warm with the movie, but nice packaging."

Jan P. (2/5)

Stylish sci-fi thriller with striking visuals

"A visually ambitious film with creative world-building and impressive effects. The tone stays mysterious and the atmosphere is its biggest strength. Transfer is crisp and detailed."

Thomas L. (4/5)

Coma

"More meditation than narrative, it lingers as a spectral portrait of youth trapped between screens and dreams."

Pierre-Yves L. (5/5)

Will put you in a (nah, that's too easy)

"Not sure what to make of this one. Interesting premise, but if you want it to all seemingly make sense at the end, I'm not sure it will. Yes, I get it's about the experience of isolation from the perspective of a young girl. There are some interesting aspects - the scenes in the forest have a truly menacing feel to them, with the distant screams. And I was amused by the domestic drama between the dolls in the girls room. Throw in a Trump quoting doll for the heck of it. Packaging and feature wise its pretty sparse - a directors commentary, and a slipcover if you care. I'll say the image quality looks very good for the parts that were filmed to be that way."

Adam C. (3/5)

Coma

"Cool slipcover and crazy film."

Justin M. (5/5)

Coma

"Alles super😊"

Stephan H. (5/5)

What strange dream is this?

"This strange, constrained nightmare box of a film almost feels like a prelude (or a premonition) to Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast. It lurks in the shadows between our public lives and our innermost dreads, between David Lynch and Michael Haneke. It instantly became one of my new favorite films."

Jonathan O. (5/5)
