A young mother with a rare time-perception disorder takes a dangerous job, spiralling into paranoia, memory gaps and noir-tinged mystery.
On the outskirts of Newark, Frankie is a young mother living with dyschronometria, a rare condition that fractures her sense of time. To stay anchored, she records cassette tapes for herself, but paranoia and dangerous blackouts keep closing in. Desperate for work, she accepts a job from a mysterious woman with a dark past-and steps into a world where trust is impossible.
Rialto Recommends GAZER is a nervy, analogue thriller that turns fractured time into pure cinematic tension. With its cassette-tape rituals, creeping paranoia and hardboiled New Jersey atmosphere, this is lo-fi noir for anyone who likes their mysteries strange, intimate and dangerously off-centre.
