Remaindered

About This Movie

Remaindered is one of those films that captures that quiet desperation of a fading artist. You have Kevin Dangler, this once-prominent author, traveling through the heartland, grappling with his past and present. The pacing feels almost lullaby-like, pulling you into the mundane yet profound journey of selling his books from the trunk of his car. The atmosphere is ripe with the scent of lost opportunities and fleeting dreams, while the character interactions—especially with his ultimate fan—are a blend of warmth and tension. It’s distinct for its practical approach to storytelling, relying on grounded performances that make you ponder the fragility of success and connection.

Remaindered is somewhat of a hidden gem in indie cinema circles, often overshadowed by larger productions from the same era. The film has had limited distribution, making original copies a bit of a treasure hunt for collectors. It’s available mostly in DVD format, with very few known digital releases, adding to its allure. Fans of character-driven narratives and explorations of artistic decline might find it particularly interesting.
