Review of Ghost Tropic (2020) by Dawdlingpoet — 06 Mar 2022
This film features looming urban surroundings in the dark of night that seem potentially threatening. There's not too much dialogue - its quiet a lot of the time, which may put some people off. I can see why some people compare it to 'A Girl Who Walks Home Alone at Night'.
If anything, the lack of people out and about in such a surely bustling city during the day makes it seem spookier maybe. It may seem a bit bland to some but I liked it. I liked the wide panning camera shots used to show how vulnerable/isolated ?? was. It's undoubtedly a slow moving film which will bore some but it has its plus points - I particularly liked the stringed instruments played quietly in the background, adding an extra sense of fragility. It stood out due to how quiet other scenes were, comparitively.
This film won't appeal to all but I liked it and I suppose it's an example of a film in which 'less is more'.
