Slomo

About This Movie

So, Slomo is this intriguing doc about Dr. John Kitchin, who just drops everything—a neurology career, the whole nine yards—to embrace a more liberated life on rollerblades. Yeah, you read that right. There's this heavy sense of melancholy at the start, like he's really wrestling with his past. The film captures the transformation beautifully; you can feel the ocean breeze and see the joy in his new, fluid movements. It’s all shot with this dreamy quality, giving it an almost ethereal vibe. The pacing feels organic, like you’re just gliding through moments of reflection and freedom. It's not your typical documentary; it kind of lingers on the essence of finding happiness in the simplest things. Definitely one of those films that sticks with you.
