This is a film so well conceived in every detail it excited me about the possibilities of the short film medium. If you're not a fan of the short film, this one might change your mind. If you are, then you should consider adding this to your collection.
The story involves a man approaching middle age, a fragile soul who becomes the plaything of his psychoanalyst who surreptitiously re-positions his quiet motorized chair as his patient lies on the couch. When the patient notices the new chair positions, the analyst is determined to convince him it's all in his head.
Whatever the intent--a statement about the inherent potential for abuse in authority (it vaguely reminded me of the infamous Stanley Milgram experiments), questioning the validity of the psychoanalytic tradition and its impact on patients, or exploring the fragility of subjective reality--it's a clever premise and its narrative is delivered with perfect timing and believable performances.
If you're a fan of Cronenberg and Lynch, as am I, then Psy-Show will surely be worth your while (It should be noted that Psy-Show was on a DVD with 'Dans Ma Peau" and "Alias"--both worth watching as well). I came away from this thinking that de Van is a great talent. I very much look forward to seeing her other work.
