About This Movie

Each segment features a different individual, shot in stark black and white, which gives it this raw, almost voyeuristic feel. The pacing is slow, which you might think would drag, but it actually allows you to really soak in each person’s uniqueness. You get a glimpse into various lives, one minute at a time—69 segments, one for each subway stop.
