Dustin Kiyeon Chang<p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Jos%C3%A9LuisGuer%C3%ADn" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JoséLuisGuerín</span></a> observes his neighborhood from his Barcelona apartment window. It seems there are a lot of musicians living nearby, you can see them &amp; hear them practicing through open windows. One of these musicians, Manel, a violinist, jumped from his balcony to end his life. He is captured in Guerín&#39;s camera many times, practicing shirtless most of the time. Guerín interviews his neighbors about the suicide, how they knew him, how they found him and how the death affected them. Manel had been depressed. His relationship with the woman who worked at the radio industry was over. Others concedes that he wasn&#39;t a very good musician. The world goes on, the seasons change, people go on about their lives. Just like his other films, Guerín conducts his little investigation in the mystery that is life &amp; it&#39;s beautiful. It&#39;s Recuerdos de una manãna&#39;s lyrical imagery that does all the lamenting about fleeting life. Barcelona never looked more beautiful in the rain than here. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/spanishcinema" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spanishcinema</span></a></p>
Dustin Kiyeon Chang<p>A Parisian attorney &amp; amateur filmmaker, vanished while vacationing in Normandy with his extended family. He left countless disintegrating home movie reels. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Jos%C3%A9LuisGuerin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JoséLuisGuerin</span></a>, using some of the footage &amp; reenacting scenes with actors, makes an utterly captivating film. It is obvious that Guerin is playing w/genre and form. This whatsit works on many levels. There is no dialog. Instead he utilizes sound of the street and nature to full effect. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/spanishcinema" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spanishcinema</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/trendesombras" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>trendesombras</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/experimentalfilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>experimentalfilms</span></a></p>
