Despondent Divorcee

About This Movie

Despondent Divorcee is an intriguing blend of visual and auditory storytelling that really stands apart. The film's close-up shots of Russell Corgi's photograph have this almost hypnotic quality, slowly peeling back layers to reveal the full image of the Genesee Hotel. You’ve got this noir narration layered over, which adds a rich, moody atmosphere to it all. It's not your typical drama – there's something contemplative about it, almost like it's inviting you to ponder the weight of memories and loss. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, which might not be for everyone, but it gives the film a distinctive rhythm. It’s a curious art piece, really, and worth looking into for those who appreciate experimental short films.
