Synopsis: An hourlong, almost forensic examination of its subject via excruciatingly long static shots of dark linoleum floors and magnolia passageways. The creepy retro corridors and psychic spaces bring to mind more recent interior monologues by Jane and Louise Wilson or Gregor Schneider, but clearly the intent was for a cinema verité exploration of accidental narrative and, more importantly, of the passing of time—something this film is so generous with that it ends up testing the viewer’s endurance.
