New & Notable: SLOMO
Dir: Josh Izenberg
A beautiful documentary about a man who found the light and now pursues his own form of divinity. You can call him crazy or you can call him free, however you interpret it will say more about you than it does about him.
Izenberg needs to be commended here on some gorgeous cinematography and style. His camera glides, very much like Slomo, throughout most of the film to excellent effect. There is also a surprising mix of styles that blend together naturally. The director uses animation, time lapse, and slow-motion to enhance his subject’s story. He keeps it visually compelling which adds a playfulness to the narrative that matches the own inner freedom the Slomo seems to be experiencing.
Do what you want.
