Wonderful short film, 19 October 2009
10/10
Author: (panicov) from Italy

I saw this wonderful short film at Salento International Film Festival 2009. This Festival is every year in September in Tricase, a little nice town in Lecce district, not far from Santa Maria di Leuca, in Puglia region (ITALY), the land of trulli and masserias (apulian old farms). I found this short really interesting. In my opinion is one of the the most interesting short film of the whole Salento international film festival. And it's Excellently directed by Sybil Mair, a young director from England. The director is the writer and the producer too. The different way of telling a love story, through camera shots rather than words, sounds touching. As the shots move from the office to the kitchen scene, you almost have the feeling that not only the environment has changed, but also the approach of the author towards the story has. The soundtrack surely helps the moviemaker throughout the hole short; notes and scenes perfectly merge giving the story a feeling of harmony. CONCLUSIONS: A really well made film with a really good photography. Perfect editing. Original beautiful music too by composer Stephen Daltry. I visited The chef's letter website and I found that this short had different winning awards. 1) BEST SHORT FILM BY A FEMALE DIRECTOR Salento International Film Festival 2009. 2) Iris Prize 2009 NOMINEE at Iris Prize Film Festival. 3) JURY CHOICE SILVER MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE at Park City Film Music Festival. 4) Award for Best Drama HONORABLE MENTION at International Festival of Cinema & Technology… so my first impression about this short was not completely wrong!
