Drama, Short Films, 23-Jul-2024
After a decade away, a stripper returns to her conservative hometown to interrogate her past. “A Forgotten Place,” directed by Alice Leigh Barrós, is a sci-fi drama considering one’s relationship to home and the traumas that linger. Upon news of her mother’s illness, Kat returns to the rural outskirt where her brother Jack still lives assisting their mom. We’re offered glimpses of why she may have left, possibly due to a disturbing supernatural encounter or an act of assault by a suspect townie. We hear about the events from various perspectives and the picture only becomes less clear. With experimental interludes and vivid textures, the film delivers a uniquely blurred portrait of a fractured reality. -JM.
