Documentary Unit: Research - Dreams of A Life Screening

We watched the 2011 documentary film 'Dreams of A Life' directed by Carol Morely which is based on the real-life story of Joyce Vincent: who died in her North London home in 2003 and wasn't discovered for 3 years. It looks into her life via interviews with her friends and lovers and explores why she died so suddenly and randomly and, to an extent, how it took so long to find her.

Below is a scan of my notes on the film I made during the screening.

My thoughts on the film:

It was surprisingly upbeat based on it's context but it seems to be more a celebration of Joyce rather than a 'who dunnit?' style film. There were several moments in the film where we'd see sticky-notes on a timeline as if it was someone piecing it all together, this could either be a recreation style sequence to transition into the next 'chapter' of the story or it could be that the director didn't know what to have as a transition and decided to actually show the noted they made to piece the film together.
