About This Movie
Year of the Dragon (2024) is an intriguing dive into Rochester, NY, captured over a frenzied week of shooting on super 8. The film’s tone feels erratic yet engaging, like a dream that’s just out of focus. The montage is filled with abstract imagery that challenges conventional storytelling. It feels more like an experiential piece, where the atmosphere of the city is as much a character as anything else. You get these glimpses of urban life, moments of stillness, and bursts of movement all stitched together. The pacing is unpredictable, oscillating between frenetic energy and contemplative pauses. Practical effects might not be the focus, but the raw, grainy texture of the footage gives it a tactile quality that’s hard to shake off. It’s distinctive, for sure, but whether that works for you is a different story.
