Frankie portrayed by Ariella Mastroianni is such a character. A young single mother from nowhere fired from a petrol station after losing every hope within herself, she now simply wishes to get by. She proceeds to search for all sorts of jobs and immediately comes to the dreadful conclusion that it is tougher than it initially seems. There are a great deal of people existing in this world who are willing to work, but Frankie, who also suffers from a psychoneurological disorder that is known as dyschronometria, has inexplicably a very odd time agnosia, dislocation due to her dissipated sense of time. In this case, time itself puts a spin on her life. Thus, as a decayed form of life, in a film noir feminist fashion, Frankie sticks bits of tape onto cassettes instead of thinking, about how to order the unraveling threads of her life, says one of her tapes.
This is one of the elements in the movie that is worth noting, it is a strange, low-quality mystery, in which the former electrician and now director, Ryan J. Sloan, takes the liberty of tackling a variety of topics relative to movies that include, ‘Memento’ and ‘Videodrome’ in a way they do not deserve. Just like in the best traditions of film, the main character is usually offered a way out from his tension, which seems to be a bit too elaborate to be true. Frankie is given three thousand dollars to bring a car from one point to another. That’s rather bland, In terms of such plots, it is hardly surprising that such simplistic arguments soon emerge as, fairly the other way round and, almost, nondescript for that matter of course, assuming that the unfortunate fall guy is paid anything at all. And indeed this is the case here.
The usual refrain of the genre is that the main protagonist has a lot on their mind while also managing to do all the other things that need to be done- in this case, taking a rather sobering trauma which is being a member of a suicide loss support group where families of a suicide talk to her. For the most part, they claim, or in a more theatrical fashion: That person, whom I knew, would never be able to do that, They were all up in this other life that I never really got to know them about. It’s Endearing how artfully these sad explanations coexist in the storyline of the Noir a boy, or a girl gets to the center of a storm on this one and sobs around the same time.
Although it is disappointing that Class detective films can have an engaging action sequence, I appreciated being in Frankie’s company as a strong performance from Mastroianni reveals. Also, she co-wrote the film and she is not one of these aspiring actresses who just put themselves into pre-formed niches. She was perfect for it. She has one of those captivating faces that are soft yet elliptical and intricate, her head’s elegant outline, her short hair, high cheekbones, and large dark eyes’ rigid but gentle jaw. The best remembered historical screen character for her was Renée Jeanne Falconetti as the martyr and Saint Joan of Arc, I would, for instance, call Frankie a modern-day New Jersey version of the Saint.
The satyric brass guitar and bass thumping combine to create a somber atmosphere – but do not let them fool you, this is not a run-of-the-mill low-budget film with a hope to survive with a good soundtrack. Gazers is not one. Self-financed, yes – but remarkably crafted. Semi-bullet style in 6mm, elevates the narrative by paying homage to the world of crime film promoters of violence and grit. But I suppose the best quote to describe Gazer would be, ‘After reasoning, one notices lost opportunities’, as Gazer does indeed feel remorse over one of the other outstanding parts of this genre the sexual tension and seduction. This is not to say that is the case with Frankie, as the entire performance slowly dives deep into what seems to be the story of a woman, except with love interests.
