The Girl from Nowhere

Jean-Claude Brisseau #2

Whether a result from his transition to digital, or perhaps more significant budgetary constraints, this film takes more of a low-fi approach to not unfamiliar thematic concerns of Brisseau's. It's a slow-burning film, that threatens on occasion (again, not differently to his other work) to become idly pretentious. Still, the soul of his work comes out always intact, and the rudimentary philosophical musings are accepted by myself as non-fatal adornments to something else.
