Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air is this raw, peculiar documentary that centers on a rather unlikely trio living in the urban jungle of Harlem. You’ve got Ming, the tiger, and his human companions, Al and Antoine, who’ve created this strange little family in a high-rise apartment. The film captures this bizarre coexistence with a blend of curiosity and discomfort. The pacing is a bit languid, allowing you to absorb the surreal atmosphere, while the themes of isolation and urban life weave in and out. The practical effects of a tiger living in such close quarters with humans are both fascinating and disturbing. It's that mix of the absurd and the real that just stays with you, you know? Quite distinctive, for sure.
