I am a huge fan of Portishead. I own four of their Cd's. I also own a huge collection of their remixed and live versions of their music. I also own this short film on my PC.
I like this film because first of all, the black and white gives it that creepy touch that Portishead is famous for. It also leaves your mind wondering what is going on.
Once the man is shot, the film focuses on Beth Gibbons (I assume she was his lover or wife in this film).
It shows how her mind keeps replaying the shooting. Then it shows her in the hospital bed imagining different scenarios.
I really started to get confused after that part though. I watched this film four times (and I plan to watch it again) to see exactly what the meaning behind all of it is.
The music is extremely well composed for this film.
I think Portishead did a fantastic job with this and I think their fans will find this to be a true treasure.
If they ever decide to get back together and make another film or even a full length motion picture, I'd be first in line to see it.
