Simple in structure and complex in form, A Lingering Question is a film that obliquely presents the viewer with a world of perception that is in conflict with the real. It starts with the normal and ends there too, but in between we find ourselves in a place that seems purely of the psyche. Stairs going nowhere and a churning sea are all we know, no context or reason given. The movement through the film is of a subconscious movement, a memory interrupted by the real. Shot entirely from overhead. It gives a feeling of dislocation as we look forward at the screen while looking down at the image. The film presents an experience rather than a story.
