Sisak (2017) User Reviews

Amazing

[erik-frykholm · 10/10 · 22 February 2018]

I got the chance to see this movie at Live at Heart Film i Sweden 2017. I also got to meet Faraz Ansari who is the sweetest, loveliest man you could ever meet.

The move captured with me with it's silence when it tells the story of to men who first see each other on the train. With each passing day the get closer to one another, without saying a word.

The slow pacing and the underlying sadness really gets to you. I highly recommend taking every chance you get to se this film.

Awesome

Heart touching story. I loved it. Jitin gulati is awesome as usual. I loved the concept and it's scenario.

the poetry

[Kirpianuscus · 13 February 2018]

Each love story is defined by a form of poetry. more bitter in the case of a LGBD short film. each silent movie giving suggestions, is precious for the art of director to propose a special gift to the viewer. but, in the case of "Sisak" the things are little different. for many reasons. the music, the details - from looks to the touches, book, train chairs, book, to the feeling to be viewer of a grow up of a plant. this transforms it in an experience. for the expectation, off course. for intense emotion. for a form of confession about a meeting escaping from any describe. two men. a train. the days. and one the most forms tender/touching forms of poetry.

Ultimately pessimistic

As the IMDB synopsis explains, this short film is the history of a wordless flirtation between two men over several days on a commuter train. Parts of it were impenetrable. We never understand the tears of the younger man that provoke a similar reaction in the older guy.

Over time, the two men get closer, physically, emotionally and intellectually via their wordless signalling on their transport. The ending for me, though, is pessimistic - for the first time, they alight at the same station but on opposite sides of the rails and on different platforms.

I enjoyed this. It sustained the interest despite the lack of dialogue.
