One of the films by Lynne Sachs that I watched was called Same Stream Twice. What I interpreted the film as is that the
first part, the slow motion long take of a little girl running, was a
reflection of nostalgia and childhood, and the choice to shoot in black and
white emphasizes the nostalgia. The
second part, I believe, is the same girl as a teenager or adult, running in the
same fashion and looking at the camera.
The film being distorted and “scratched” shows the passage of time, and
because of the title, the film means to me that a person is changing and
evolving so much as they age that they can never truly be the same person they
were before.
