The Passenger
2025-04-30
Vancouver, BC

This one goes out to anyone who has ever felt like they're running away from something or someone... truly disappearing really is just a fallacy. Loved the way it weaved itself from what appeared like a globe trotting thriller into an understated character study, chipping away at the quiet fractures of the emotional fugitive Nicholson inhabits. Fantastic framing and camera movement -- that long take near the end really is a sight to behold.

Watched at The Cinematheque in downtown Vancouver, 50th anniversary screening, DCP.
