CGiii Comment

Trecartin’s (Tommy Chat Just E-mailed Me) is a short set inside and outside an email. Featuring Trecartin’s stylised characters—Pam, a librarian with a baby; Tammy and Beth, surrounded by installation art; and Tommy, in a lake house— the film explores electronic communication. Trecartin, playing several roles, blends manic interactions with bright animations. The story shifts like a web browser, revealing growing isolation.
