Motion

About This Movie

Motion (2012) takes on a very personal, almost meditative vibe. It’s like a diary captured through Adnan's Super-8mm lens, where the 80s New York City becomes a character in itself. The way she frames the sunlight hitting skyscrapers is just stunning, almost painterly. And the pacing? It’s slow, inviting you to linger on moments that might otherwise be overlooked. There's this beautiful tension between the urban environment and the intimate act of filming. It feels like a love letter to both the city and the craft of filmmaking, with practical effects that capture a raw, unpolished essence. Definitely distinctive, a piece that draws you in.

Motion is a rare gem for collectors, as it hasn't seen extensive re-releases, making original prints scarce. The distinct use of Super-8mm adds a unique texture that many modern films lack, which piques collector interest. While it's not widely known, its personal storytelling and atmospheric visuals appeal to those who appreciate films that prioritize mood over conventional narrative structures.
