So, there's this documentary called 'Nostalgia or Backwards' from 2025 that dives into some really intriguing territory. It’s got this almost ethereal feel, you know? An art curator finds herself reflecting on a past trip to Searles Lake and Trona, which, let me tell you, is quite a stark and haunting place. The link between borax and film development adds this layer of nostalgia, memories tied to the physical medium of film. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which fits the themes of memory and loss. And the visuals of the salt flats? They create a sort of dreamlike atmosphere that complements the curator’s journey through her thoughts. It's definitely one of those films that leaves you pondering long after it ends.
