series The Vertigo Effect
Directed by Jenni Olson | 2005
"Quite intoxicating... a meditation on gender, the ephemeral nature of lust, and the sheer importance of staying alive."
—Wesley Morris, The Boston Globe
San Francisco, sexuality, and suicide come together in Jenni Olson’s entrancingly minimalist essay film. Over static shots of eerily depopulated Fog City locales, the filmmaker muses on queer desire and identity; legendary poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti recites “The Changing Light”; and the Golden Gate Bridge’s history as a suicide landmark is explored via Meet John Doe and Vertigo. The result is an overwhelmingly moving meditation on love and loss.
