Green Stalk (2003) Online

The street noise of Queens, New York forms a rhythmic backdrop for a Filipina video clerk whose life of quiet isolation is disrupted by an older woman. Rich in location shots redolent of the dislocation of movement even in their ultra-crisp stillness, GREEN STALK reaches for rootedness while admitting its impossibility. Through its "queer eye," the urban United States is disordered, displaced, remade anew.

This beautifully constructed tale of unfulfilled longing has a quirky urban sensibility oddly reminiscent of Stranger Than Paradise.

A New York City video store clerk pines over one of her female customers. And tracks her down.

She steals her shirt from a laundromat and masturbates with it, buys a jade plant that the woman touched, watches the videos the woman returns. Stands outside looking up at the window of the woman's apartment.

Stalking or true love? Hard to say but this film makes unhealthy obsession look truly romantic.
