I greatly appreciated Hollis Frampton's film "Nostalgia" after watching it in class for the first time. It was a lot more complicated than what it seemed from the start, mostly thanks to its unorthodox narrative and disjointed photo description. At first, it did not seem more than his description of photographs that he has taken in the past, but as more and more photos came into the view I started realizing that the author was getting rid of important fragments from his past and all of those pictures meant a lot more to him than just photographs. Letting go of the past is a message that anyone can associate with.
