Define

About This Movie

Define is an intriguing piece from '88 that plays with the idea of identity in a way that feels almost dreamlike. It’s not a straightforward narrative; instead, it gives off this hazy, episodic vibe that meanders through themes of ethnic female identity and the complexities of fitting into a dominant culture. The narrator's dry cynicism contrasts sharply with the weighty subject matter, creating a unique tension that lingers. Practical effects are minimal, but that's not the focus here; it’s more about the atmosphere and how it makes you think. There’s something distinctive about its pacing too; it’s not fast, but rather contemplative, inviting you to dwell in each moment.

Define has been relatively scarce in circulation, with few releases over the years. Most collectors seek out the original VHS or any limited DVD editions that surfaced, as it hasn’t been widely digitized. Its experimental nature and unique approach to storytelling have garnered a niche following, making it an interesting piece for those who appreciate films that challenge conventional narratives.
