Coma

This unsettling film tracks the anxiety and estrangement of a teenage girl (Louise Labeque) who appears to live alone during COVID lockdown and gradually begins to experience the dissolution of boundaries between her real and imagined zones. Utilizing an array of media -- computer animation, Zoom chats, internet video, stop-motion dolls, surveillance footage -- the filmmaker constructs a dreamlike limbo that increasingly feels ruled by some invisible supernatural realm. Created as a personal communiqué to the director's 18-year-old daughter, Coma expresses, poignantly yet without sentimentality, a father's fears in passing a troubled world along to his child.
