Residue (2020)

Residue: Directed by Merawi Gerima. With Obinna Nwachukwu, Dennis Lindsey, Taline Stewart, Derron Scott. A young filmmaker returns home after many years away, to write a script about his childhood, only to find his neighborhood unrecognizable and his childhood friends being scattered to the wind.

“u0026quot;Residueu0026quot; is the most experimental and topical film that I saw in Venice, it features unconventional filmmaking and transports the viewer into an issue that hasnu0026#39;t yet been explored cinematically. Speaking with the director, this was extremely low budget and very spontaneous which is one of my biggest praises. The film has an intoxicating and transcending visual style that helps to build the story up in innovative ways. A bit unfocused and spends time at moments that didnu0026#39;t interest me at all, but one of the Venice films I want to rewatch as soon as possible.”
