As in a diary or a notebook, images and sounds display -in an intimate and reflective way- the emotional state during (self) exile. A film that blends languages of video art with essayistic documentary; classic B&W Argentine features and found footage with personal archival material; texts from quotes to notes on a diary. We travel to question our identity and the notion of homeland. In doing so, the body is thought of as the territory of one´s own nation. However, places change but the question remains the same: will this be my place?
Love, Simon (2018) based on the book “Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda” (by Becky Albertalli) is a teen LGBTQ+ rom-com with themes of longing to find others with similar struggles, and ultimately is a story of acceptance of identity from those around you, and most importantly, from yourself.
While the film didn’t hit me as emotionally as I wanted it to, I still enjoyed it. I simply wish there was a little more, particularly with the world building.
