Waxwing Slain is a fascinating time capsule of a film, unearthed and reexamined through the eye of a former student. The commentary by Charles Minnimatsu is where the real magic happens, as he delves into the subtleties of the film's themes—loss, nostalgia, and the fleeting nature of fame. You can feel the atmosphere of the late '60s, thick with a sense of melancholy. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to linger on each frame. The practical effects, though modest, have a raw charm that enhances its unique character. This film feels like a love letter to forgotten art, making it distinct in a sea of more polished works.
