Valley of the Queens: Planned Obsolescence

About This Movie

So, there's this film, 'Valley of the Queens: Planned Obsolescence,' which dives deep into some heavy themes—time, justice, and cultural identity. The pacing feels almost reflective, like it’s inviting you to sit with the ideas rather than rush through them. Michael, played by an unknown actor, carries this weight as an angel trying to navigate the complexities of human life and societal issues. The practical effects are intriguing, and they add this raw, grounded feel to the supernatural elements. It’s distinctive in how it tackles the notion of planned obsolescence, particularly concerning Black Americans, which gives it a unique social commentary angle. Not your standard angel narrative for sure.

This film has been somewhat elusive in terms of home video releases, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. It seems to have limited availability, with various formats surfacing occasionally but never in large quantities. Interest around this title is growing, especially as more viewers seek out films that explore underrepresented narratives and themes. If you come across a copy, it might be worth snatching it up before it slips back into obscurity.
