Sukhov Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Wow, this one was boring. It had some nice shots but the droning narration did not help things. Also more than a few times, the noise on the street made the narration hard to understand. This film seems like a very personal film from Akerman and not knowing her mother or family, it just left me cold. It's hard to care about the letters read when you don't personally know any of those people. That said, the cinematography is itself quite exquisite. It's amazing that she managed to make this at age 27. I feel this would have been a better film if she had gotten rid of the narration and just used a Philip Glass score for the soundtrack like Koyaanisqatsi.
