What I appreciate most about Flight from Death is that it doesn’t reduce death anxiety to pathology. It shows how mortality awareness fuels everything from cruelty to creativity. For artists especially, this film lands hard. It raises the uncomfortable question of whether making is a way of hiding from death—or a way of facing it honestly.

Watch it slowly. Let it bother you a little. That’s kind of the point.
