Review

July, a trans woman who recently passed away, is someone who chose to take on questions of identity, using her own body to present them. After her death, her family members began cleaning out her home, and her film director nephew captured the process in his camera. The physical act of clearing away evidence of someone’s life transforms into a psychological process of accepting death, as though clearing away what exists in one’s own heart. Recognizing that there was no time left for creating anything together—only for looking back through memories—the director created a film dedicated to a life, preserving July within transcendent time. Superbly realized with a delicate approach to a life preserved in thin traces like dust, the film recalls the words of Frantz Fanon: “O my body, make of me always a man who questions!” (Sung MOON)
