So, 'Motel' by Christian Blackwood is this fascinating look into motels that feel like they've been plucked from another time. It’s not your typical documentary; instead, it really captures these quirky places—Santa Fe, Florence, and Death Valley Junction—each with its own vibe and characters. The stories told by the owners are really what stand out, offering a glimpse into lives shaped by these motels. The pacing is a bit languid, which fits the atmosphere perfectly, letting you soak in the oddities and charm of each location. You get a sense of nostalgia without the gloss of corporatism. It's raw and genuine, showcasing real people in settings that feel both familiar yet distinctly unique. Definitely worth a watch if you're into the unusual.
