We Keep on Looking for You

About This Movie

So, 'We Keep on Looking for You' kind of pulls you in with its hauntingly unique concept. A machine voice narrates this rather melancholic tale, aiming to soothe a dying patient with memories of a homeland. The archival footage, especially from Kennedy’s visit to Venezuela, has this raw, almost eerie quality, enhanced by those glitchy montage errors that give it a disjointed feel. There’s something poetic about the way it unfolds, with a lengthy poem intertwining with visuals in a way that feels both familiar and utterly strange. It’s not your typical documentary; it really toys with the themes of memory and loss, in a way that’s quite striking.

'We Keep on Looking for You' is a bit of an enigma in the collector's realm, largely due to its obscure director and limited release. The film has had a few festival showings, but actual physical copies are scarce, making it a curious piece for those into documentary oddities. Collectors are drawn to its experimental nature and the unique use of archival footage, which sets it apart from conventional documentaries. Its thematic depth combined with a distinctive visual style makes it an interesting find for anyone looking to delve into the more avant-garde side of cinema.
