Alone
Thematic Extremely Rich Theater: Staging Performance and Elasticity in American Nonfiction Film
Aloné Watts, a young woman in New Orleans, contemplates marrying her boyfriend, who has been incarcerated for a year and is still awaiting sentencing. What would it be like to be separated from the man she is committed to—indefinitely? How does she envision her wedding, her life? In voice-over, Watts reveals her desires and weighs them against her family’s disapproval. Phone conversations with her fiancé underpin this brief, potent reflection on longing and the ways the legal system breaks families apart. ST
