Junk (1999)

In a decaying world of aberrant weather patterns, lifeless landscapes and mundane objects, Max r. and Christina meet on the day she has decided to end her life. Writer/Director Roddy Bogawa's second feature film, JUNK, is a love story that is as much science fiction as classic Noir. Elliptical in design and beautifully shot by Ben Speth (THE DELTA, DRESDEN), JUNK moves from the micro (objects obsessively collected by max r.) to Warholian surveillance of the everyday (eating, sleeping) to the abstract (satellite views of the Earth), reflecting an interior narrative interwoven with an existential journey - between Nature and Culture, structure and disorder, geological time and cinematic time. A film that attempts to revive a poetic relationship of sound to image/narrative to essay, JUNK explores the world around us and the world imagined - it's past, present, and possible future.
