Like before, he nestles his stories into a seamless blend of realism and surrealism that's both simultaneously repulsive and beautiful. DGG's flair for ignoring the bigger picture and focusing heavily on moments of truth, self-discovery, emotion and lost thoughts is what makes his films so memorable and lasting, compared to so many dramas that feel the need to be bigger than they ought to be. Unlike his previous films, Undertow doesn't quite gel together as tightly in the end but it's the moments before that leave the lasting impression.
