The movie began in a city much like his and unlike his; it stitched alleys from film noir and crowded markets from travelogues. Characters moved in frames of grainy color, at once raw and crisp — the hallmark of 720p, where detail keeps the human face honest without stealing the dream. The camera lingered on hands, the small betrayals of touch: a thumb hesitating over a letter; a cup twirling too many times on its saucer. Each gesture felt amplified by the twin commentary of sound.
