An existential drama exploring the universal themes of death and rebirth. Tape Letters from the Waiting Room is an experiment in film archaeology and magnetic memory as it navigates past life experiences. Shifting in succession from the mundane to the metaphysical, the film is composed of extant 16mm found footage from the past century. An original soundtrack by Mark Vernon encompasses a rich collection of domestic tape recordings; audio letters, dictated notes, found sounds and other lost voices. Watch online here.
Reviews
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
