Welcome

About This Movie

Welcome (2022) feels like an exploration of isolation, framed through the lens of a minimalist artist. It’s interesting how Rousseau marries the essence of Carl Andre and Hollis Frampton with this quiet, observational style. The film's pacing is deliberately slow, allowing us to absorb the nuances of everyday life, much like watching the world unfold from behind a window. There’s a tangible atmosphere that evokes both curiosity and a sense of detachment. The practical effects are subtle yet effective, drawing you into a uniquely New York perspective on the familiar 'Rear Window' theme. It’s not just a remake; it’s a thoughtful reinterpretation that invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of connection and solitude.

Distinctive minimalist approach to storytelling. · Pacing emphasizes the mundanity of city life. · Evokes themes of connection and solitude.
