JAMES Shot in striking 4:3 ratio, with inspiration from silent cinema and an aesthetic rooted in the underground fringe, the darkly comic stylistically bold “hoser-noir” arthouse feature ‘JAMES’ follows a disillusioned East Vancouver nihilist who stumbles upon fleeting purpose after rescuing a discarded racing bike. But when it’s stolen by a cunning collector who knows its true value, James spirals into obsession, hunting through Vancouver’s subcultural underbelly in a surreal, poetic quest for meaning.
