About This Movie
Questioning the Existence of Alec is really something. This documentary, set against the nostalgic beaches of 1940s South Africa, feels like a personal exploration. Roger Horn’s use of 8mm found footage adds a raw, textured element that’s just captivating. He mixes in stop motion and clever in-camera effects that blur the lines of reality and memory. The pacing is almost dreamlike, allowing you to linger on moments, while the themes of friendship and the passage of time resonate deeply. It’s got this atmospheric quality that pulls you into the collective memories of the characters. You can almost feel the sand between your toes as you journey through the lives of these friends, from carefree youth to the complexities of adulthood.
