Some Lots

About This Movie

Some Lots is an intriguing blend of comedy and documentary, where Lorne Bailey's dry wit shines through. The film takes you on a journey across Winnipeg’s downtown, showcasing surface parking lots and layering them with archival photos. It has this unique way of juxtaposing the past with the present, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative. You can't help but feel the loss of those historic landmarks. The visuals make you ponder what once stood there, while Bailey’s commentary is both engaging and slightly sardonic, giving it a distinct flavor that's hard to forget. There’s an odd charm about it, a reflection on urban change that’s quite poignant and, at times, humorously bleak.
