Overview

Shot between Hong Kong, Japan, and the US, this short is Joshua Gen Solondz’s most ambitious work to date, a portrait of the home and the world that is dense, textured, creepy, anxious, noisy, silly, and confounding, but always tender.

Review

Recently, a collection of director Joshua Gen Solondz’s short films was screened at a special exhibition with the title I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead. It is a sentence that offers multiple clues toward understanding the director’s body of work. His most ambitious work to date is We Don’t Talk Like We Used To, a discomforting film that shows various moments from life where the gentle coexists with the violent and the strange with the everyday. (Sung MOON)
