The Cities I Live In

About This Movie

So, 'The Cities I Live In' feels like a personal diary more than a traditional documentary, you know? The filmmaker, while recounting his journey, creates this intimate atmosphere, almost like he's sitting across from you at a café, sharing life stories. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments of stillness that actually draw you in, letting you soak in his experiences. There's this raw honesty in his storytelling, especially when he talks to his infant twins—it's touching and poignant without being overly sentimental. The backgrounds, the visuals of Belfast, serve almost as characters themselves, enriching the narrative. Just a unique blend of life, place, and family that resonates in its simplicity, if that makes sense.
