Waiting for the Bus (2022)
Worth Watching
I'm really surprised that the IMDb review section is so high for this film. It's a low-budget film that should be rewatched in order to find the little details like the ones I caught on the second viewing: the beginning credits section shows a handful of the actors pressing the button to signal the bus driver, the voices heard during the credits tell their own story, a few things said by the protagonist that hint at what he's doing there, the squinting of the eyes. It's actually deep!
It's an oddly likable film. The captured performances are done with a bit of shakycam, but also there's a few camera movements consciously placed in there. The sound quality is awful, which is why I gave it a lower rating. There's also a lot of obvious cinema influences. Dare I say I felt like there was a Shomin-geki aura to it. Who nowadays plants a camera at a tree and just stares at it? I liked it. It was new.
