I spent time during lockdown down thinking about the concept of loneliness and social isolation for work and read Laing's book. So I love this article!

What I love about this film is that it covers all the types of loneliness (I used the typology of emotional/social/existential) particularly existential which is much less talked about (in a policy and health context). And how intertwined and inseparable these are to the experience of loneliness.

The film made loneliness textured, tangible, noticeable to all five senses. Which as you say, is very hard to do.
