Love in L.A.

"A modern approach to cinéma vérité gives way to uncanny and surreal lyricism in Love In LA, a bleary, impressionistic anti-fairy tale that finds solace in its depiction of loneliness and narcissism. Amid the smog, on the scintillating streets of Los Angeles, an unnamed, solitary character wanders aimlessly through an uncaring Hollywood. Recorded on a Sony Handycam through the lens of a sightseer, the scenes that unfold speak to the tragic pursuit of meaning in a media-saturated landscape, where happiness is packaged for consumption and idols are immortalized on sidewalks and in window displays. Marcela Jacobina is the woman holding the rose and the one responsible for this vague, yet strikingly poignant performance piece. Without a script, Jacobina and cinematographer Matthew Chuang conjure a two minute hymn that floats somewhere between memory and fantasy, dream and reality, disenchantment and dissociation."
