More than a movie about Jimmie or the house, this felt like a movie about San Francisco, about the way the city has evolved and deteriorated and the way its people have been affected by phenomena such as gentrification and pollution. The dedication Jimmie has towards the house feels like a representation of the love the people of San Francisco have for their city, and the obstacles he faces when trying to own it feel like a representation of the way San Francisco has neglected its native residents in favour of fake progress and the inflated housing market. It was an interesting watch for someone like me who doesn't know anything about San Francisco but can relate these issues to places I do know. The use of an almost magical fantasy-like photography elevates the story.
