The Cruise

I found this man to be a kindred spirit - colorful and poetic vocabulary, horny for architecture, in community w inanimate objects. He appears somewhat fearless tho he reveals moments of puniness. A cruise of a movie and I enjoyed the ride, tho it started to drag and I saw a few roadside exit signs that would have been sufficient.

I didn’t find it an appropriate companion piece to the first two shorts, I’m having some trouble understanding them in conversation w one another as intended.

first and foremost: nightmare blunt rotation :(

but on a more serious note this documentary is lovely and profound. i’m at that point in my 20s where life feels unsalvageable- watching levitch go about his life with such insurmountable authenticity and love for a city i miss so dearly was healing. at one point he said something that made me sob “i think that my favorite victory is the ability to feel. such insincerity, it’s incredible!” i guess i need to be more like mr. speed here and feel and love unapologetically, whether i’m all alone like i am now or surrounded by loved ones and strangers alike

I need to go to New York again soon. Besides that, it was nice to see where Speed Levitch first got attention after seeing him in stuff like Waking Life and High Maintenance. There’s such a friendly charisma he has with his words that never gets old no matter what he’s talking about. One of those where I’ll probably enjoy it even more on a second watch.
