Icarus (after Amelia) stands out for its raw portrayal of Glasgow women in their professional environments, shot on 35mm which gives it this tactile, almost nostalgic feel. The documentary dives into feminist economic theory, but it doesn’t hit you over the head with it. Instead, it’s more of a subtle exploration, allowing the stories of these women to unfold in a way that feels both personal and politically charged. The pacing is deliberately slow, letting moments breathe, which really adds to that reflective atmosphere. Practical effects are minimal, but the authenticity of each scene resonates deeply. It's intriguing how this film weaves personal narratives into broader socio-economic discussions, making it distinctive in the documentary landscape of its time.
