I can’t describe to you what this film is about. It consists of almost vignettes, fractions of relationships which would be whole plots in other movies. I could try to explain those, but it would be a misleading promise. Joe gives you just a small sample, and the rest gets absorbed into pure atmosphere.
This is the Joe-patented enchanted mist, or thick essence of meaning. The air in the rooms, the spaces between words, have character. You can’t see it whilst watching but you can certainly feel it when you look back at the film. It’s this which defines the film rather than who happened to what.
It’s apparently inspired by Joe’s childhood growing up with parents in the medical field. The film has this fragmentary structure like memories. The narrative throughline isn’t important, just the feeling, like a lot of his films.
I wanted a bit more from this one, a focus on perhaps one emotional idea so it really hits. It’s a spiritual experience that leaves some edification behind the curtain.
