Thursday

About This Movie

Thursday is a unique documentary by Galen Johnson, shot entirely from his high-rise apartment in Winnipeg during the COVID-19 lockdown. It has this hauntingly quiet atmosphere, where the city feels both familiar and alien. You see people moving through these almost deserted streets, like ghosts in their own lives. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the stillness and the stark reality of isolation. There's a fascinating juxtaposition of everyday routines against the backdrop of an empty urban landscape. The practical effects, if you can call them that, are just the rawness of life captured through the lens. No fancy edits, just real people in real situations. It’s a compelling exploration of solitude and community during such a bizarre time.
