Alex DelGarbino — film reviews

1. The Conversation

   1974 Gene Hackman plays the same thirty seconds of tape until the words turn over on him. No chases, no shootouts, and I have never been more nervous on my own couch.

2. Paris, Texas

   1984 A man walks out of the desert with nothing to say, and the film waits two patient hours for the one thing he does. The slowest gut-punch I know of.

   2022 A woman replays a childhood holiday on MiniDV, looking for the father the eleven-year-old couldn't see. The tape refuses to help her. Aftersun 2022 A woman replays a childhood holiday on MiniDV, looking for the father the eleven-year-old couldn't see. The tape refuses to help her.
