dreams of a life (2011). directed by carol morley.


she was dead for 3 years before anyone discovered her remains. ironic really, the flat she rented was right above a shopping mall. so many people going in and out and none of them knew a dead person amongst them. makes you think, has she no family, no friends, no one who cares at all? the documentary attempts to re-create the life of the wallflower girl by the name of joyce vincent, one minute the centre of the party, in another the girl with no past. we don't know why she pulls back from the company of friends she has and disappear, appearing in times of trouble, refusing to confide to anyone. was she sick when she passed? she was alone. the tv was on when they found her. 

all the connection in the world, it takes 3 years for the county to break down her door for unpaid rents to find a skeleton on the bed. tragic.
