Disconnection

About This Movie

Disconnection (2024) is a fascinating documentary from Nel González that delves into the filmmaker's exploration of self amidst the backdrop of a student dormitory. It’s more of a video essay really, weaving together personal reflections with the stark contrast of the communal space around him. The pacing feels contemplative, almost meditative. There’s a certain atmosphere that captures the essence of isolation within shared living. The visuals are raw, leaning heavily on practical effects that enhance the authenticity of the experience. González’s performance, if you can call it that, is deeply introspective, pulling you into his world. It's distinct because it’s not just about the space, but how we connect and disconnect within it.
