“Bad Penny” by Yuri Costantino, 2023
Bad Penny, directed by Yuri Costantino, follows Anne’s journey through memories in an attempt to bring back home J., her partner and a military pilot lost after an air conflict. This creative documentary delves deeply into themes of love and loss, visually expressing Anne’s moving journey through memory with a collage of archival footage from American sources that span from World War I and the Vietnam War to the more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Costantino blends these historical images with original, dreamlike scenes of Anne and J. in their old age, crafting a narrative that transcends individual memory.
