Would anyone miss you? Nobody noticed when Joyce Vincent died in her bedsit above a shopping mall in North London in 2003. Her body wasn't discovered for three years, surrounded by Christmas presents she had been wrapping, and with the TV still on. Newspaper reports offered few details of her life-- not even a photograph.

Interweaving interviews with imagined scenes from Joyce's life, Dreams of a Life is an imaginative, powerful, multilayered quest, and is not only a portrait of Joyce but a portrait of London in the eighties—the City, music, and race. It is a film about urban lives, contemporary life, and how, like Joyce, we are all different things to different people. It is about how little we may ever know each other, but nevertheless, how much we can love.

i feel like it'll be forever before this comes to the US... i hope i can see it

my skin curled when I heard the story on BBC Radio 4 this afternoon. With today's fake socialising,no matter how many Facebook fans or Twitter followers, who would come knocking on one's door if one goes missing?!! I'm dying to watch it on Saturday.

@ollie77fiy Have you seen the movie? Is that the only point you can come up with?

[ollie77fiy]

A tv on for 3 years eh. How comes the Bedsit didn't go up in smoke before they found her

Dreams of Life. is a wake up call to me. Did some one say how Did She Get Herself Into This? I don't think she did. Life happens some times you fallow your dream or dreams which has a few miles called isolation may be that's where Joyce was when life as we inhabit it ceased to support us. I like who she is.

What's the music at 0:55 ?

@wadaFgoingon

the answer is most likely...is the fact she had no friends and no living relatives that she was in good standings with so no one would question it. why would anyone question it? dont ask about people's personal stuff, unless asked. back in high school, if i stopped going to school...no one would go to the principal and asked where i was. they would assume i just went to another school. same with adult life...maybe she just got a new job and moved.

@wadaFgoingon

no...none of that is the answer nor is it right. this shit should NOT happen and you shouldnt go around saying it does. there is another answer to what happened and yours isnt it punk. so say you're sorry and move along.

Read about this film in the newspaper today and had to search for Joyce Vincent. Reminds one of The Great Gatsby - all the parties and fun but nobody really knows the host or the other guests. Hope Joyce's rests in peace.
