Audience Member The static opening shot confronting us with the main character as she cries into the camera relating to the rats in the NYC subway scurrying to exist before a color cut to the opening credits with surprisingly warm tropical musicâ¦is all rather jarring. This opening illustrates the themes of the film where on one hand you have this Chaplin-esque slapstick quality of simply showing through exaggeration set against the realism of human trafficking. The more artistic shot selections of views through a keyholes, characters breaking the fourth wall, a talking stuffed penguin, and surrealist dream sequences gets juxtaposed to the abrupt depictions of drugs, mutilation, and rape. The minimal sound effects in doing a silent film expressing the deaf characterâ(TM)s world helps lend itself to the NYC atmosphere as her character slowly understands her situation and gets to experience a few instances of American materialism before despair leading to the filmâ(TM)s conclusion. In all an ambitious film with a lot of ideas that makes me curious to see how the director will develop. ⨠Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
