like hotel monterey, akkerman uses space, people and enviroments to create a story thats not entirely visible.
why do we place so much value on the big cities?
because a lot of big companies, stores and large amounts of people live there? like that one scene from the shawshank redemption where the prison guards figure out how andy escapes, when ripping that poster off the wall, the big gaping hole of isolations cease to creep in.
the film also sees akkerman read the letters send to her by her mother.
the film uses that social isolation to also qeustion the faith of our connection to our parents and if we really want to connect with them at all. im in a place rn where i really just wanna get out of the house, away from my family as they don't value full commitment or rather not giving full commitment to my social or medical transition.
and for many others there are different reasons.
