Michael (2022) is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the life of a man lost to the streets of Portland. Bieke Depoorter, the filmmaker, gets gifted these three suitcases filled with Michael's belongings — personal items, essays, sketches — and it becomes a treasure hunt of sorts. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere of both the city and Michael’s world. It’s not just a story of disappearance; it explores themes of identity and connection. Depoorter's ability to blend the personal with the mystery makes it distinctive. There's a rawness to her style, a kind of honesty that pulls you in, making it feel more like a journey than just a film.
