Motorola

About This Movie

So, 'Motorola' is this peculiar short from '98 that blurs the line between an ad and a narrative piece. The atmosphere is rich, almost voyeuristic, capturing those raw tensions in romantic pursuits—it's all about the push and pull, you know? Wong really had a free rein and took that to heart, creating something that feels a bit like a surreal exploration of relationships, entwined with the tech vibe of the time. It’s not flashy in the conventional sense, but there's a subtle charm in its minimalism and the way it plays with light and shadow. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which gives those fleeting moments an edge that sticks with you.

'Motorola' has had a bit of an odd journey in the collector's market. It's not widely circulated, which adds to its charm and mystique. The film exists primarily in a few limited formats, making original copies somewhat of a rarity. There's definitely a niche group of collectors who appreciate this for its unique take on romance and advertising, though it doesn’t have the mainstream recognition you might find with more celebrated works.
