Decasia (2002)
6/10
an extra story in addition to the ones told in the movies
30 June 2022
Bill Morrison's experimental "Decasia" does not have a story, per se. It consists entirely of decayed footage from the days of yore, set to music. Some of it is from movies, some looks like footage from newsreels.

In an interview included on the DVD, Morrison basically said that all this decaying footage tells a story just as much as the plots of the included movies do. In this case, it's what happens when art gets neglected. Over time, practically anything will suffer damage if left exposed to the elements. No telling how many stories are lost because there was no way to safely preserve them.

Anyway, it's a movie that will probably on appeal to film buffs. Most people won't be able to relate to it.
