RKS 2024 Film: The Toronto International Reel Asian Film Festival: “Song For No One”

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted infilmTags:, , , ,

Gene (Giullian Yao Gioiello) hosts an independent radio show in Brooklyn. Who knows who is listening but for certain there are two Asian women pedalling a stationary bike in the forest listening to him sing a song about grieving and about how he is not ready to grieve.

We watch Gene on the telephone applying for a scholarship for those who have experienced the loss of a parent or guardian with little or no life insurance. I best say no more other than this short is haunting, chilling and highly effective in its exploration of grief.

RKS 2024 Film Rating 94/100.
