Review of Vagabond (2015) by Corey B — 11 Jul 2009

I feel very privileged to have seen this movie and lucky enough to have been curious enough to pick it up in the library. This is the reason why I frequent there, there is always an obscure piece of cinematic gold to be found that no one knows or cares about but when you watch it you feel like you really got something out of it, unlike most films that come out of the hollywood fast food specials today (Michael Bay movies, etc etc). Imagine the movie from Spike Lee called "She's Gotta Have It" then instead of a promiscuous woman you insert a homeless woman to which everyone she has met has a different perception and opinion of her but none really are true, one truly doesn't know them-self. Some admire her because despite poverty she is totally free, some say other things. it is a extremely slow movie but offers alot for the brain to flex their muscles to. Watching this film I am quite sure inspired Gus Van Sant's, that or he completely ripped this film style off front to back knowing that no one outside of europe would really know of this movie, he was right.

This move wanders as the character does, everything about the film wanders, that is what the film is about, wandering till one can't do it no more. A film to certainly show to homeless people or people in danger of becoming one in hopes to change their opinion and mind to it.
